I had read this before as a hypothetical. I thought that was what we were dealing with here.
One thing which has not been mentioned: If the ball is truly resting on the floor, it is not that easy to start/resume a dribble by slapping it. A natural next step in the attempt to do so would be the use of a fist, which we all know is not allowed.
