Can't be the first one to touch it?

Your argument is self-contradictory.

On one hand, you say that it's not an interrupted dribble because it doesn't fit the definition.

On the other hand, you say that you have the OOB when they next touch the ball.

Both can't be true. If it's not an interrupted dribble but is still within the normal dribble, it's a violation the instant the foot touches the line. If you wait to call it when they touch it again, you've implicity declared it an interrupted dribble, which then makes it no violation.
