That's irrelevant though. You must judge (meaning ... YOUR judgement is all that matters) if the defense was touching the base on purpose, to get the runner out. If, as you say, it was obvious to the whole world that he left early, and they threw it to 2nd to get that out, no tag is necessary. Use whatever evidence you need (like ... the fielder stepped on the bag with the ball and then looked at you, or even flipped the ball to the circle and ran off the field). If that throw to 2nd was for the purposes of making an out, you have an out. They may not know the word ... but that is an appeal.
