Garth, technically he's right. You MEANT - the 3rd out is made
BY the BR before the BR reaches first ... but it's not what you said, and that difference is what he's talking about. There are numerous ways the 3rd out could be made BEFORE BR reaches first in which runs would score - most notably any case where the BR is the 2nd out, and a 3rd (non-force) out is made anywhere else before BR (no longer a runner) reaches first.
Is this a nit? Yes ... but I understand why he wanted to clarify this for the OP.
