I'm not saying you can have both at the same time, but there is gray area between a real fumble and controlled "fumble" or "tap" which equates to player control. If you want to pick nits and say "oh you can't use the word fumble to describe anything controlled" that's fine but let's focus on the bigger picture here of how to get the call right, not argue semantics.
