I believe the casual out signal when the batter is out by 20ft. is because there is a possibility that F3 was not quite on the base, and a nonchalant signal reaffirms that the BR was truly out, and nothing funny happened. On a can of corn, there is no other outcome than out if the fielder reaches in and pulls the ball out, so no need for a signal.

Since you got an A in logic in college, you should know your analogy makes no sense. If you're an F3, and too stupid to touch the base when a batter is out by 20ft, you need to grab some pine time, and watch and learn how the game is played.
Did this play happen to you? I remember you mentioning what a stellar standout (what else is new?) at the position you were.
