Where does this fit into this argument?

With a properly positioned pylon the ball would hit the inside or corner of the pylon. Not the front.

So, in # 2, if he first touched a hand on the ground at the 1/2yd line, he hit the ball against the front side of the pylon, it would then be a TD? I understand that touching anything out of bounds causes the ball to be out of bounds, but does that mean that the pylon breaks the goal line extended?

The hand is on the ground and thus the player is not truly airborne. TD in this case.
