Change the sitch just a bit, making it just minor obstruction (say BR merely had to run around F4 - but no contact), have BR run a couple more steps toward 2nd, and then stop a 2nd time. Do you have an out now, despite the OBS? And if you do, why here and not in the original sitch 2?

No, I'm not saying I'm smarter, but there is a clear difference in my mind between a runner stopping by choice and stopping by going down in an unintentional collision. The latter and sitch #2 in this case have no relevance to the intent of the RCR (aka LBR).
