The first example with Archie requires the card be turned. If it's
already turned it's too late to use Archie's special. That's why in
the FASA response in our Q&A it is recommended that you use Archie to
turn the target Runner after your opponent has unturned them during
the refresh phase, or during their Legwork phase before the runner is
turned for any other purpose.

The second situation is using a stinger, it doesn't require anything
like the card being unturned so you can turn it. (Of course, it does
require a runner being on a shadowrun or going to a location so you
can send them back to the safehouse. :o)

Different cards in different situations.
