I find this premise hard to believe. The rules clearly state that a runner who scores and then retreats back to third base does not nullify the touch of home. There is nothing that says a BR who touches first and then retreats back toward home does not nullify the touch of first. If this were true, you would expect a similar ruling.
Having opinions is great... and this is a good discussion. But I must ask - can you point to any rule that backs up your opinion?

Not saying you can't... but I can't.
