I know, because I have been doing it for decades. I do it because it usually works. Sometimes cars will still push by, even using the oncoming traffic lane--which they wouldn't have to do if I were not blocking the lane. Sometimes cars will push through to the point of endangering me, at which point I will move aside rather than getting knocked aside. But absolutely, "Taking the lane" is blocking the lane. That is the whole point of it---blocking any other traffic from using that part of that lane.
