"Palming" is an illegal maneuver. When the ball comes to rest in the dribbler's hand, by rule, the dribble has ended. Continuing to dribble after the ball has come to rest in the hand is a violation and should be called.
And if he doesn't touch the ball again after pushing the ball to the floor, then he hasn't dribbled again. There is no "continue the dribble". He didn't continue anything.

It's that simple.

If you use your definition, you would have to call an illegal second dribble every time a player ended a dribble and then threw a bounce pass.
