rule 2-8-9d does not cover all of this question?

"B1 is out on a good catch by F3, the ball is live and in play"

Thanks for the help.
I'm confused by "half on live ball territory but completely off the ground", on and off are contradictory.
Should it say "over" instead of "on", which then means nothing as touching is the only criteria that matters?
