Foul after the last buzzer

Also, in my opinion, I believe that, in the absence of an intentional or flagrant act, a foul can be called up until the airborne shooter gets at least one foot on the floor, but that's an opinion based on common sense, because ...

I'm still confused by this wording: The ball does not become dead until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when: Article 5, 6, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in flight. I'm confused because the try ended when it was certain that the try was unsuccessful, ergo, no try, no exception.

(Ergo? Where did that come from? I've been reading too many of mbyron's posts.)

Thanks, that's the way I would call it, but can you please explain my "Ergo" (no try, no exception).
