Well, yes you can. That is why if a runner deviates from an established or obvious path and interferes with the throw, it is INT

A runner takes a wide turn at first base on a ball that F1 overthrows. F4 retrieves the ball that bounced off the fence and the throw hits the runner on her way to second base. INT? Heck no.
Correct, unless the runner makes a move other than advancing toward the base

A runner retreating to first base after a line drive is caught by F6 who then throws to F3 trying for a double play. Ball hits runner in the backside. INT? Heck no.
Again, correct unless the runner makes a move other than advancing toward the base
