Then the rule is wrong. He took two steps, he launched/lunged for the TD, and he had clear control of the ball when he brought it back to his body. I don't know how the rule should be written, only that it needs to be written in such a way that a rational replay view can call that a touchdown.

I still believe that the answer is full time refs with rational rules. Having competent full time refs that look at enough tape that they "know it when they see it", and rules that allow for the obvious right call to be made would make the game more enjoyable.
