Cecil, The "force out" is the fact that once both runners passed the committment line, then, by rule, they are "forced" to continue to the second home plate. If they go back to 3rd base, then, again, by rule, are out.

What's your point?

Mike - I don't see this as being odd at all. Without the tinkered rule, both runners would be heading for home and F2 would be able to tag both.

Or, they could stop and get in a run-down and one or more could be safe, score, etc.

Was just being pedantic, it's not a force out.

OK that's true. As I said earlier, passing the line is the key.
