I have no hatred. I have no emotion invested in this or you. The difference is I understand the proper interpretation of a rule and apparently you do not.

Two questions
1. do you contend that it is a physical impossibility for the tag of the base and the touch by the BR to be at the same time?
If so so be it. I wouldn't want my son in your physics class but so be it.
You woud rather you son enroll in a physics class that does not properly teach the probability of these two things happening at exactly the same time?

2. If it is possible, what do the rules say about it?
The rules do not include consideration for any such improbable event. The rules provide for two possibilities: The ball beats the runner, the runner beats the ball. The rule makers did not intend for any third option.
