Check out. . .
4-23-3
10-6-7
10-6-9.
Lump all those together, and note that "fraction of a defender's body" isn't a factor in your situation.
Why in the world 4-7-2 still retains the "torso" phraseology which, perhaps, caused you to rule as you did, I'll never know. Just pass over 4-7-2 and go to 4-7-2a. That'll conform to everything else in the book.
Finally, note casebook 4.23.3, which mentions "on the side of B1's torso." That, too, isn't full body on body, only part of it, apparently.
Sound good?
(a recent thread dealt with this topic, as well...might want to check that out, too)
