The "Point Of Interruption" is not a location.

ART.2…Play shall be resumed by one of the following methods:

The obviously not POI times are - foul away from the ball, foul by an offensive player and a foul on a made try.

Intentional fouls on a person with player control will result in the location being very close to POI, and my experience has shown that these make up a majority of intentional fouls.

As has been pointed out, POI is not a location. It's more involved. While spot of the foul and POI may in fact lead to a similar conclusion, they are not the same thing. Personal fouls (including the intentional and flagrant ones) are always "spot of the foul," unless they are doubles.
