Rule 10.1 doesn't apply if there is a rule in place to cover the sitch. The God rule is there to cover anything not specifically covered by the rules. I have used the God rule twice in 34 years. The rule book (and rules supplement) may not be 100% foolproof (after all, if it were 100% foolproof we wouldn't have a need for this board). If the batter is automatically credited with a run, he can't be called out. (Well, I guess he could if he maliciously creamed the first baseman, but...)
