I respectfully disagree with the second sentence. The POE that I quoted has nothing to do with bumping or steering. It is talking about a defender placing a hand on the opponent and simply leaving it there.

If the defender is already beaten, then you're definitely going to let it go. But if the defender just leaves a hand on the ballhandler continuously as the offense tries to run a play, the POE seems to say that it should be a foul, even if the ballhandler might eventually go to the basket.
