There is a difference between reaching on an error and advancing extra bases on an error.
In the original post, the run is clearly earned.

I respectfully disagree, I am not so sure that Sanders run, if he scored would be earned. I have seen it go both ways, depending on who is the official scorer. The fact that he reached base on a single is one thing, but when he advances into scoring position via an error is something different. This makes for a good discussion
