Yes, really. For the reasons laid out by other posters.
There is a difference between "legally entitled to" as it applies to liability to be out if tagged, and "legally acquired" as it applies to base placement after interference.
On a side note, I'm not sure how U3 can call interference here. Can someone explain that to me?
