I see what you're getting at, Manny. I know this has been discussed before, but I don't remember what the consensus was.
The rules say that the batter-runner may use the white base in cases where the defense is legitimately using the colored base, using one of the exceptions to the rule.
But they don't specifically say what happens when the defense is using the colored base in conflict with the rules and that forces the batter-runner to switch over to the white.
It seems like obstruction must come into play.
