The intent of my post was to spark discussion, and, or course, I failed miserably.

If it's a violation for a player behind the arc, during a free throw, to touch the arc, then is it legal for a free throw shooter to touch the semicircle? Or is it illegal for both to touch it, like some type of demilitarized zone?
