It is not nonsense. It is just exaggerating the elements to expose the main point that you don't seem to see.

Again, how does a player become a primary defender? How long must they be on the player and at what distance must they be in order to be a primary defender. If players switch out top on a screen, the secondary defender does at some point become a primary. The question is where and when? If a secondary defender slides in and backs there way down the lane for 1 step, two steps, 5 steps, 10 steps, all right with the dribbler, when do they become the primary?
