tie goes to the runner?

I like a lot of what St Louis Blue has to say. Continuing it further, and for FUN, almost virtually impossible to be, in fact, a tie.
So, having prefaced with that, for debates sake, say, you hear glove, and see foot at the exact same time. Call it a "tie" if you wish, whatever.
My theory is this. BR is safe. To be out, ball has to BEAT runner to F3. The ball getting to F3 BEFORE BR. If a BR is safe by three steps because the ball did not BEAT him to the bag, he should be safe under the same criteria if the ball doesnt beat him to the bag on a "tie".
If the BR hits the bag at the same time the ball arrives, the throw didnt beat him, safe.
Defensive player makes a great play? So. What about the BR who makes a great effort to get down the line.
This was "for fun" topic so all of you 90-yr veteran guys, save your emails. Ive called them, the same way, about great plays by the defense, etc.
Just a way of looking at it.
