Can you show me the page number where it says doing what you're supposed to be doing makes you immune to the rules?

The Fisk/Armbrister play illustrates tangle/untangle at the plate. Rule 7.09(j) Comment: When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called. “Obstruction” by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such “right of way” is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball. __________________ Rich Ives However, in a play like this, I have to see a real intent to INT or OBS before I call it. This to me is similar to a play, for example, when R2 is advancing to 3B while SS is playing the ball, SS may be blocked visually for a brief moment as R2 passes by and SS may muff the play as a result, but if the ball did not contact R2 and R2 did not make contact with SS and as long as I see no intent to interfier, then I got no call.
