do the words "airborne shooter" and "dribbler" mean the same thing?

Can you be an airborne shooter AND a dribbler?

If you answer these 2 then you will come to your conclusion.

As for your OP, its a PC foul. Player had legal position BEFORE offensive player went airborne. All contact is on the offensive player.

The rule was also created for a very specific contact. You are making it way more complicated than it needs to be. If your logic were to hold up then most of these plays would be a block as most players heads and shoulders will pass the torso before contact occurs.
