BR, in that case, was never 100% AHEAD OF R1, even though the majority of his body was, and there is no out here.

Thanks for the heads up, I do realize that between the bases the following runner must completely pass.
The equal to was meant only in this situation where R2 was standing on third.
If R3 is equal to he must be deemed as on third as well, therefore R2 would be out if tagged.
