Incorrect, sir. By this logic, a pass would be an illegal dribble, because the action doesn't meet the definition of a dribble.
You can't have illegal contact without contact first. You can't have an illegal use of hands without a use of hands. The "anything" must occur first for the action to be deemed illegal.

If you met the definition of an "anything", that, by definition, means it was legal.

Illegal actions are also defined. Rule 9-5 spells out an illegal dribble.
Meeting the definition is a prerequisite for determining whether an action was legal or illegal.
