Benefit of the doubt has no relevance in this play...other than we are taking it as the net contacted the blocker due to the force of the ball into the net, so no net violation on the blocker.
Otherwise, it's as simple as the blocker touched it...which gives the original attacking team a new three hits.
That the ball would not have cleared the net had the blocker not been there is not relevant in this situation at all.
