It's true that 8-7-G calls the out at 1B a force out. But ASA's definition does not.
If the out at 1B is a force out, then a BR who reaches 1B safely but then steps backward toward home plate (for example, under the misconception that his fly ball has been caught) does not have to be tagged but can be put out by a simple tag of 1B.
When I've posed situations and used "force" as a sort of shorthand generic term to describe the out at 1B, other posters have been quick with their corrections.
