I don't mean to be abrupt but this is pretty wrong and a little misleading. First the play was at second not 1st, he's talking about the runner going from first to second.
Now, the out was not a force out at second it was a tag out of a runner who had already acquired the forced base. Therefore, this is a timing play and it does in fact matter when the runner scored.
