No I didn't misunderstand Carl. The immediate safe call at first and at home both are made AFTER the runner touches the base. He can not be called out on that play regardless of the fielder's actions. Unless there is subsequent action - like the runner making an attempt (or a feint) to advance to second base. Of course if he misses the base, he is liable to be put out on appeal.
