mbcrowder has it right. The scenario posted by bainsey has nothing remotely suggesting INT.
8.4.M.9 says this is INT if the BR collides with the fielder about to catch the thrown ball.

hmmmm, so if BR is lying on the white portion of 1B, could it not be argued that she impeded F3 from stepping on 1B? :confused:

Say she did exactly that. What rule is broken here?

I suppose it could, but what play would she be interfering with?

Wouldn't we need an appeal that BR missed the bag? What would you rule now that she's touching the big base?
