THE BATTER-RUNNER IS OUT.
F. When the batter-runner interferes with

Since there is no alternative offered, that sounds pretty exclusive to anything other than the BR within the confines of the BB. If it wasn't meant to be exclusive, why is the BB even included in the rule?

If we look at the definition of interference
How many times have we said a definition in itself is not a rule? It is a quantifier to be used i the application of a rule.

While this might be considered a hole in rule 8.2-F, 8.7-J(3) does allow a ruling that can be supported; I would use it, and doubt it wouldn't be supported by the NUS if protested or challenged at that level.
