I know what you are saying, but I look at the same way as typical batter interference.
The BR who simply backs out of the box after the pitch doesn't intend to interfere but if F2 steps into him or hits him etc., we have interference.
So I think how FED is interpreting it is the way that I am, you can have interference by the BR without intent.
But as you stated, I'm still looking for futher examples etc,.
Thanks
