We've stretched outside of the OP but this is good discussion.
The last few posts have got me thinking more about that part you mentioned there in bold.

If A1 is setting a screen with their legs well outside of their normal stance, and B1 makes 'legal' torso contact with A1...it shouldn't really matter where A1's legs are as they really don't have any impact on the contact made vs. if A1 was setting the screen with his legs inside shoulder width
I'm not trying to pick apart the rules/case book on what is/isn't a foul or what we've come to know as fouls...but it's just interesting to me.
