You'd have to quickly process "the moment of INT". The whole sequence may occur in the space of 6 or 7 seconds. As an official, you have time to read the play and make the call.
Making the call of INT immediately requires a VERY quick decision. Almost as soon as making the decision, the defense may have executed a successful force play at the plate. Do you still want to make an INT call after that happened?
