There's a key difference here. The fed (and virtually every other governing basketball organization) has ruled that it's physically impossible to catch and shoot in .3 seconds or less. That's something that can be empirically challenged and proven beyond reasonable doubt.
There is no way to estimate how long it takes for the ball to go from a player's hand to the floor OOB on a tip. It truly could take less than .1 second if the player is close enough to the line and the ball touches him close enough to the floor. There are too many variables that cannot be accounted for.
