I agree that there has to be possible play (e.g., not interference if no one is covering).
I disagree with it mattering where the throw comes from, unless it is the foul side of the 1st base line.
Getting back to the original question; if the BU wasn't sure of the BR being in the lane or not and the PU wasn't sure it hit the BR (or missed the play), then allowing the play to finish before deciding on the call is correct procedure. This is in spite of interference causing an immediate dead ball, because the remedy (an out, returning other runners) can be done after the fact, just as if it was called right away.
