Not if you add the "intent" of the rule.
The implication of 5.2.1 is that the ball was thrown towards the basket in such a path that it may or may not be a shot. This rule was added to remove the judgement from the call. If the throw could have been a try and it had a chance to go in and does, it counts as 3.
In 4.40.4B, the ball, just prior to being touched by the defender had absolutely no chance of going in in flight (it was below the rim and coming down).
Regardless of the poorly written case plays, you have to know the situation they were trying to address.
