Notice the rule references:

Quote:

[the batter] or first base is tagged before he touches first base

and

Quote:

he touches it before he is out

are NOT inconsistent. The first talks about when the timing of a tag (or base touch), while the second talks about the timing of the out. The out is a (possible) result, but not the equivalent of, a touch/tag.

I'm sure they could be worded better.
