I did read the whole thing.

The title of that section of the article (The part in large bold letters) is "Obstruction"

At the end of that 5 paragraph section, there is an editor's note which says: "Editor's note: In the OBR there's something called Obstruction, Type (a). When the defense is playing on the runner or the batter-runner interferes before touching first, then the correct call is: "Time, time!""

Why would there be an editor's note about obstruction in a section about catcher's interference/obstruction?
