I agree with you on a tag of a runner that the fielder needs to show secure possesion through a tag. On a tag of a base I have a hard time reconciling myself to disallow the out when secure possesion was shown prior to the collision.
Like I said, I don't buy into the post-tag evidence on secure possesion during a tag of a base. If I feel the fielder has secure possesion at the moment the bag is touched, I have an out.

Unlike a catch, a legal tag is based on the status of the ball at the time the runner or base is touched and not on the final proof of possession.
Tim.
