I've heard that term also Bob but I can't remember where either. However, a Google search only turns up a short article on interference and references "weak interference" with just a few examples, none of which are close to this sitch. Closest thing I could find would be interference without a play as in a catcher's return toss to the pitcher or a batter's backswing making contact with the catcher and knocking the ball (or catcher) out. Both of these situations would warrant an out call from Windy/Pete as they don't need intent to call this and it caused problems. Even if they have to reference the wrong rule to shore up their argument.
