If the officials ruled that the ball was fisted, replays showed that the fist was the initial touch, which was a violation, so the clock would stay 1.5 since there was no legal touch. If the clock were to start on any touch, there would be no need to stipulate "legally" in the book.
I do agree with you that 0.7 sideline inbound doesn't make sense given the info that we have.

They should add this play to the case book as there are multiple times a year the first touch is illegal, usually a kick.
