Does it matter it it crosses the net?

As a floor captain(/coach), I usually request an interpretation of the rule from the R1 and ask for clarification of it when there are situations that are ????

I would also take into consideration the strength of the net and the trajectory of the attack. If there is an opportunity for the ball to clear the plane of net, then the situation as described goes to the attacking team. If it's obvious that there's no doubt in your mind that the ball would never clear the net, then the play is dead and the contact with the blocker is insignificant. Then there is always the situation that a player knowingly plays the ball off of a block with the full knowledge that the ball would not clear the block, using the tape as half of the target. The situations are rare and few actually can do that.
