And then, to me, it gets metaphysical. If it bounces, it's a dribble, right? And is it possible to put down the ball without some bounce? So how much bounce before it becomes a dribble instead of a travel?

Probably because it would be a little more difficult to control it in the form of a dribble and just putting the ball down on the floor. As a dribble, it has some greater change of getting away from the player.
