Ok my two cents worth.
At out rules clinic, Chick Montrose said interference is called when the runner interferes with the 1st baseman's opportunity to receive the throw. So in the case cited if the low throw was on line to the first basement then I would say that the opportunity to receive the throw was interfered with and call an out. But as Mike says it's not automatic and you have to take a look at the throw to determine if there is an opportunity to receive the throw. If that opportunity does not exist, then there is no interference as I understand it.
