Because the advance was not CAUSED by batter reaching first - it was caused by the passed ball. There is NO difference between the logic of this situation and the logic of the initial post. The run did NOT score BECAUSE of the actions of the improper batter - it scored because of the wild pitch.

Yes, this is true. However this thread's big deal is whether or not to score the run because of the BOO being the third out on the batter, hence no runs can score if the BR is put out before reaching first.
