It is judgement and we have to judge that the batter runner interfered with the fielder taking the throw at first base, for them to interfere there has to be a play to interfere with which means the throw has to be able to be caught at first base and the batter runner kept it from being able to be caught.

There's a lot of discussion about it because it's taught that way in clinics, and it's the way TPTB want it ruled.
