I suppose I can see that for a player that goes out of bounds, and then simply jumps up to catch a pass that went OOB. It would still be wrong by rule, but at least I can understand your desire to not penalize this.
But would you not consider a receiver that jumps in the air and intentionally throws it or bats it to another player to be "deliberately trying to take advantage of going out of bounds?"
