He sould not Throw At the Runner, but AT FIRSTBASE. The runner just happens to be in the way because he is breaking the rules.
You ARE changing your position on this subject. In post #4 you said "If the catcher can't make the throw, he should have been taught to hit the runner in the back for the interference call." and later defended this position even after several of us disagreed with this "coaching" style.

Maybe there is hope for you.
