I think what he is trying to say is if B3 was suppose to bat, but B4 bats and is out as a result of the play, and if appealed in time then you would have 2 outs on the play. B4 would remain out as a result of the play, B3 would be out for not batting and the next batter would be B5 (speaking ASA, I found out in a meeting the other day that NFHS is different in this case). This is not actually being skipped, since they have a record of having batted in that inning. I also agree with your point, if a batter is on base when their point in the lineup comes up then they are skipped with no penalty, again this is really the only time they are skipped in the order.
