Not true per PBUC. No rule support either, actual or implied.

The rule supports the quality throw concept on the thought that you cannot interfere with catching an uncatchable throw.

A runner can exit the lane at the base to touch the base, BUT - if he's out of the lane all the way he's then subject to an interference call.
