I'm trying to think of a follow-up Q&A phrasing for "throwing in a forceful way" that won't return the dreaded Your Higher Beings Will Not Comment on Hypothetical Situations answer. Maybe something about whether "forceful" requires imparting an additional parallel force component rather than failing to impede existent momentum.

There are a few Q&A's where they simply quote the relevant rules, as if that is enough clarification to the question. In cases where it seems like the team asking the question is asking for clarification on wording or terminology in a rule, it's almost as bad as the anti-hypothetical-situation response.
