Similarly one should not allow someone to block a shot into the front corners. Offenders should either move back or to the centre asap.
The issue is almost entirely a doubles issue, and is really part of the " one should be able to play one's most strategic shot", and if stopped, should be given a let. It is not that they cannot play any shot. If they can play a winning shot, although not the best winning shot, they should really play it.
This is not a simple issue, and the rules of the game should in general be more about intent, rather than detailed situations.
