As far as how the words are used literally, I think you're right. But the way it's officiated this is often the case. I think where the contact occurs does make some difference in a lot of localities, and it also appears to me that it depends on whether the contact is on-ball, or off-ball. Is that a double standard? Well maybe, but in some areas, I'm sure it's the way things are called.
