Don't get me wrong - I am not advocating calling INT any time a runner slides or runs toward the glove. All the benefit of any doubt goes to the runner. But if a runner deviates from his path in such a way that convinces me his only purpose in doing so is to interfere, then I'm busting him for it.

You may be right if, you could ACCURATELY and CORRECTLY discern that "his only purpose in doing so is to interfere". However, I question any officials ability to make that decision on the field. It would have to be SOOOOOO obvious.
Then again, I do not know your abilities, and just, about anything is possible.
