How does this jibe with interpretation #19?

I would NEVER call this, regardless of how "FED" wants it called.
Maybe its the quality of ball where I live, but I would never consider calling interference on a bad throw.

Now if F2 makes a quality throw which hits the runner (which would be the way the catcher's around here would have been taught - hit him in the back of the head), then we will consider interference.

Don't bail out F2 on his inability to pick up the ball and throw it to F3.

Thanks
