But if the BR had missed 1B (yes, I know it's not officially a force, but it applied in Fed), then an accidental touch of the base would have resulted in an out.

The "accidental appeal" was abandoned by FED several years ago. Case 8.2.3 is still in the case book, but it is wrong by rule (and FED has issued e-mail instructions to ignore it).
