EDIT: I misread your entire question before writing the reply below. You have the right away because you should based on the current positional situation.
I disagree. Once you're both stopped you use the laws of right of way based on position.
Any other logic requires everyone at the intersection to have in their head and agree on a time-based series of events of how the current situation came to be. Which is clearly impossible to happen.
Plus, if you go based on "I was here first" and he crashes into you, you'll be in the wrong.
