Dash, I don't believe the discussion here was ever about intentional or not. Most everyone of us would penalize a batter for interfering with a catcher trying to make a play or throwing a runner out, whether it was by an intentional or unintentional release of the bat.
The discussion was about certain individuals believing that the involuntary release of the bat on a swing , could be characterized as "careless" , depending upon where and how far it traveled.
