I agree. Don't make up a touch of the orange bag just to call the runner safe. You either agree that to honor the appeal is the right thing to do and do it or you don't and disallow the appeal. Don't agree that the appeal is allowable but then call them safe because of a "mythical" touch of the orange base.
Call what you see and enforce the rules. Now, we disagree on what the rule supports, but that's another posting for another day.
