I see it as the opposite of your point. You are basically subscribing to the extra steps theory. If the obstruction cost her 4 steps, then you want to add on 4 steps to WHATEVER happens after that. I know you didn't spell it out that way, but that's what it amounts to.

I do see that you understand that ASA doesn't want it called this way. My point, however, was that there is a REASON they don't want it called that way.

The player in the OP's 3rd sitch may not have even ever had a reason to run toward 3rd had the OBS not happened, and/or she might have slowed normally after rounding 1st, negating any possible "extra steps" she might have gotten.
