Yeah. And I was thinking, too, that if a runner from 1B "steals" second on ball four and causes the catcher to throw the ball to second base and the ball is over thrown in to the outfield, that should be interference, too. Or if a coach yells to his player really loudly, "Go! Go! Go!" and the player doesn't go, but the fielder throws the ball to the next base, that should be interference, too. Or if a mom yells from the stands, "Slide!" but a player doesn't slide, that might be interference, too.
Okay, I'm sorry for being a jackass about it, but I am just trying to show why I think the rule and the theory behind it is a bad one.
