The point is that it does not matter if the ball/fielder and runner arrived at the exact same infinitesimal measure of time; but just that no one could tell which came first. A "tie" is when they appear to be simultaneous to the human eye/ear and that is when the ball/fielder did not beat the runner and the call is safe.
