Yep - 6.05j. Runner or base has to be tagged before the runner touches first base for an out. If the runner and tag/touch occur "at the same time" (a "tie") then the tag/touch didn't occur before = runner's safe.
That's not a statement, it's an implication. And an interpretation. And a minority one, at that.

What other conclusion is possible?

Old myths die hard.

Are you sure? Mine only has the first part. The second part seems to be an interpretation.
