The rule book writers got nothing else to do anyway.
So that SAME logic should apply to your instance... since its the SAME as a force... ie it aint.

Ouch. Taking your statement at face value (any time you need only tag a base should be a force), you just reinstituted one of the original myths in the game. Live ball appeals on tagging on fly balls or missed bases just became force outs, rather than timing plays.
Let's not go down that road, please.
