"Waving off interference" is not in the rule book. Unless you can provide a citation, I can conclude only that you made that up.

You simply do not undestand the CO infraction
One more time
We have bases loaded 1 out (NO MC this time) B1 is obstructed by F2 but manages to hit the ball to F4.
While attempting to field the ball F4 is interfered with by R1 and in the judgement of the BU there would have been an easy DP. Notice in FED we do not use the terms Willfully and deliberately with obvious intent. Those are OBR terms.
At the moment R1 interferes with F4 we have
1. TIME
2. R1 and the BR are DECLARED out
Apparently inning over
HOWEVER, we now have to enforce the CO penalty
How do we enforce the CO penalty?
Since bases were juiced, every-one moves up a base. The interference is "waved off" because in fact it didn't happen.
If we go by your ruling you would enforce the interference and the inning would be over and ignore the CO infraction. That's not what happens.
