Not absurd at all. A runner interfering with a fielder when there is still a play that can be made is absurd. There should be more protection for the infielder in USA. Hot one hopper hit to 2b and it pops out of glove and it's ok to make some contact with the fielder?! That's absurd. USSSA has the better rule in this case.
What is absurd is that you believe that. What is absurd is how you would act based on the previously cited rule that a fielder kicks a play and take a step backward into a runner who is running around the fielder to avoid an INT call actually being called for INT because USSSA includes "in any direction" in their rule.
