You want to compare apples to apples, missing a base is not the same as staying in bounds on a football field. If we were talking about hot smashes down the line being fair or foul by whiskers- that would make sense. Touching home plate on a bases loaded walk or home run is not a point of attack. There is no possible play by the defense on that runner (ignoring appeal here), and thus the runner is not gaining an advantage by missing the plate.
I applaud you for having the guts to make your call on that homerun. I'm just saying if the miss is imperceptible to a casual look, then I didn't see a miss. Why look for boogers that no one else can see. Sure, if theres a big juicy one hanging on your nose, about to drip on your lip, go ahead and pick the dang thing.
Just my 2 cents,
Phil
