Yes. Should the runner not be permitted to attempt to advance because the catcher isn't smart enough to make the correct play?

I don't think that absolves the runner from anything. Frankly, she probably shouldn't have run home in the first place if the ball was right there and the fielder could have easily tagged her. The fact that she made that choice and put herself in a position where she could easily violate ASA 8-7-P, NFHS 8-6-16c, etc., is her fault. After scoring, she cannot interfere, which is what she did.

Okay, make that call. I'm not without some indication the player committed and act of interference
