I respectfully disagree. My belief in the rule is that her act is that she didn't act. A retired runner does not have a right to stand in the base path. And I've called this exactly never bc I've never seen it but I can say this, I used to do if when I played. I'm 6'5, 300lbs and when I remain in base path and lolly my way along after being put out, I was damn sure doing it to interfere with throw to first, so yes, it does happen.
I wish I had a cool signature

Both of these are acts of interference because the offense is no longer attempting to run the bases, they are "doing something" that could be considered interference.
A retired runner continuing to run at the same pace and on the same path is not committing an act of interference.
You keep changing the scenario to fit your view of the rule.....
