Didn't seem like a trick question to me. Simply testing the knowledge of the rules verbiage.
"If a fair or foul batted ball is caught, other than a foul tip, each base runner shall touch his base after the batted ball has been touched by a fielder." - my emphasis - Rule 8-2-4

LDUB is right, he's only debating half of the statement.

Written again and again.
Rule 7.08 - Any runner is out when -
(d) failing to retouch the base after a fair or foul fly ball is legally caught before that runner or the base is legally tagged by a fielder. ... This is an appeal play
Mr. Umpire, I appeal to your best judgment, that the answer is actually true, as witnessed by 85% of the umpires.
