It's not just my logic. It's backed by very noteable sources. You really should get a few definitive resources and see for yourself.
From the J/R:
It is a balk if a pitcher:
11. Steps to first base, and :
3) Throws, but the first baseman, because of his distance from the base, is unable (or if the throw is errant- would have been unable) to try a tag against the runner at first.
