That's not true.Don't say never. It is not part of this sitch, but the intent of a runner that intentionally interfers on a double play has an effect (both runner and BR are out) and the intent of a runner that is in contact with a base that intentionally interfers has an effect (both runner and BR are out).
Intent can effect the penalty (situation dependent).
