Rich, I think you are ignoring one of the most fundamental concepts of the game-----to advance around the bases legally and score runs.
Why should the visiting team be required to make their forced runners touch the bases and the home team not? The rules state runners need to touch bases they are forced to advance to. Until that force is removed, that rule applies. Was that force removed in this situation? If not, they are at liability of being put out (in this case, by appeal---another rule of the game).
You've put common sense to other issues, but you seem to be sidestepping it here.
Just my opinion,
Freix
