And that is wrong.

The
red statement is correct.
But that isn't what it said. It said that contact after the ball is dead is a technical if it isn't incidental. It takes more than not being incidental, as you properly stated, to become a technical.
The statement can't be made right by changing just one or two words. It is wrong in too many ways. It was just published without thinking.
