I think Irish's point is this. Rule says defense must put the runner out prior to reaching the base. If you tie (happened at the same time) then the ball wasn't there before the runner so the defense did not put the runner out prior to them reaching the base, thus the safe call.
Now in the real world we all know there are no ties.....we get paid the $1,000 a game to determine which came first, safe or out!! After that we start in on the chicken and egg issue.
