Again its judgement. I don't think holding your arm out is a foul. I think its the intent of the rule to say a player with the ball can't hold or use his arm out in an extended manor that would give him an advantage. Are you saying the dribbler would have to keep his arm down?
Yes, it's judgment. And, no, the dribbler doesn't have to keep his arm down. But, the original situation had the dribbler hold his arm out to prevent the defense from stealing the ball and made contact. That seems to be to fit your criteria of "extended manor [sic] that would give him an advantage."
I agree with SC (?) -- I'd be inclined to call the foul, as this was described.
