I certainly agree with your proviso, but I think it's safe to assume. Assuming a fairly normal ballpark, the only place for a fan to interfere with a fair fly ball is out at the wall, which would be deep enough to score R3.

The question I had on reflection concerned case 2: why is R1 taking off on a foul ball that F3 can field?
