I'm not familiar with Bob Herrold, but his statement is nonsensical. It's like talking about unleaded gasoline with lead in it. Or sugar-free gum with sugar in it. Not only did he NOT say it best, what he did say is meaningless.
And even if I fully understood what Bob Herrold was saying (and I honestly don't), the rulebook specifically
defines the contact that is inherent in the game ("incidental contact"). It
is a contact sport. That doesn't make it football, but it's not golf either.
