Imo the rulesmakers want to put the POI at the closest spot to where the ball IS when the interruption occurs....not at the spot of what caused that interruption....and not where the ball WAS before the interruption occurred.

What you think is the mindless raving of a senile mind might actually be what the rulesmakers intended.

Seriously!

I never joke.
