Ok, the Case Book says that a runner going into 2nd base who gets fake tagged by the SS gets "awarded" 2nd base(unless he would have made third in my expert opinion) AND a runner going BACK to 1st base who gets fake tagged gets awarded 2nd base.

What do you think of just assuming that anybody going into 2nd who gets fake tagged has already touched the base so, he gets 3rd? It just drives me crazy to award a base for one runner who was going backward and award nothing to the runner who is already there.

Sorry, I did not proofread that- Did I make any sense just now?
