This is exactly the reason why FED wants INT here, regardless of the quality of throw. Catchers playing under OBR need to know to throw it to F3 even if it hits the BR.

Agreed.

But (for completeness), if BR was running on the foul side of the lane (the ball is fair in this play), and F2 makes an errant throw, BR is not out even in FED.

Too often I read, "If BR is out of the lane, he's out, evne on a non-quality throw" and that statement is just a little too broad.
