I truly hope you are right as it would be common sense.
However, this is what I was told, "If in the opinion of the referee the player makes a deliberate attempt to play the ball, which includes sticking their leg out to block a through ball or pass, and makes contact, the player in an offside position is not deemed to have received the ball from a teammate but from an opponent and would not be in violation of Law 11 Offside. The offside interpretation was changed with the huge LOTG change in June 2015."
Again, I am not trying to argue with you and understand you are a very knowledgeable poster. I just want to get to the bottom of it once and for all.
That would be June 2016.
