Well, as much as I would like to agree with you, especially at the 10U level, I believe the statement above isn't true.
If it were, a runner could never return to 3B after touching home on a base left too early.
And even as ridiculous as it seems, since ASA has now ruled that a BR can reinstate the "force" (for lack of better words) at 1B if s/he passes the base going back toward home, I cannot see any other option on the given scenario than the runner placing themself in jeopardy by attempting to return to 3B.
