If you happen to touch someone then, it's not the same thing as taking the ball with a tackle in a contact sport, like, say, football.
Those rules are there so the offensive player can't force you to back off when you are trying to block him. they aren't there to allow the kind of contact that would make it a contact sport, but rather to say that it's ok if you happen to touch him when he's moving against you. It doesn't mean that you are allowed to try and touch him.
But you knoes this, so I don't know why you persist.
