tibear. You keep making this more difficultt that what it should be. No one is saying that if the runner plows into a field trying to make a throw it isn't interference, it most likely is and could also be an ejection for mailicious contact. What is trying to be explained, in this particluar stich, is if the runner is running outside of the running lane, he/she cannot interfere with the throw of the fielder, only the field receiving the throw, and, the throw must be a quality throw. It cannot just be lobbed, etc.
The rules are there for a purpose and are changed periodlcally, not to make them easier to be understood but to prevent "cheating".
Your interpretation must be based on the written rules are they are stated and you cannot make up your own to make them suit you.
Each case is different and must be judged as such. As has already been said, read the rule book, understand it and be able to apply the rules correctly based on the situation.
