I know this is a nothing in ASA - ASA requires a quality throw in order to rule interference. But I'm looking for a case play to back it up. I don't have those here. Anyone have one?

We have a rule (8.2-E) that makes it interference for the BR, by running outside the running lane, to, in the umpire's judgment, interfere with the fielder "
taking the throw". Since the only applicable rule doesn't make it interference to cause F2 to make an errant (or non-quality) throw, why do we need a case play for what isn't covered by the rule?
