Which I happen to agree with. The book states
If the ball and the runner get there at the same time, a tie, then fielder did not contact the base before the runner, the runner is safe, the myth list not withstanding.

There is no such thing as two independent events occurring at the same precise moment... there is no tie.
PS - you can find exactly the reverse wording elsewhere in the book... even the book assumes there is no such thing as a tie.
