The point was it was exaggeration. If everyone agrees that little touch pass is dot I stand corrected. Not sure everyone agrees.  

I classify it as any pass over 20 yards that hits the receiver in stride. Key word being in stride.

Maybe I have the wrong concept but I think of it (dot) as a dart. To a very specific point. Usually involving a small window the ball has to pass through. 
The touch passes allow some massaging of pace by the target, in the situation where he is between the defender and the catch point. He can adjust slightly to remain in stride on a well placed and timed throw. Like sandbag a little bit and then when you have it tracked you can accelerate into the catch if you need to. There you go. In full stride. It is okay to slow down a hair if you have position on the defender you can still catch it in stride - as long as it isn’t really underthrown. Then of course you have to break stride. 

Just seems like a different type of throw. It doesn’t have to be quite as perfect. Within a couple of feet not inches. But I am outdated.

I was going to add those types of throws as acceptable. I just didn't want to type all that out. In both cases it takes qb control to complete and are rare throws and completions. You may not see 1 an entire game. Most passes require adjustment due either to coverage or a rushed throw.
