I agree. While I don't think the spirit of replay was to overturn those types of tag plays, I don't see any better alternative. I would rather have a black and white rule (if the runner is tagged any point while not in contact with the base he is out) than some umpire judgment based on when the tag was applied and/or how far the runner came off the base.
