OK - that's your judgment, but the rule book (ASA) says "...may be considered a form of interference..." not must be considered...
This means it is umpire judgment, and therefore, not calling this interference is a legitimate application of the rule.

Tom,
This was originally a Fed question and I believe that is the book WMB is citing. But even ASA has the caveat that the umpire must believe the runner's action was intentionally meant to draw a throw.
