But hit his leg on the way down, so it's as if he kicked it, so it is allowed to go forward.

(So say the various ex-players and "the letter of the law" in the HT analysis.)

Apparently though, he hasn't "passed it" to his foot/thigh but lost control onto his leg, so it is a knock on...

Personally, I think this highlights how important it is for sport in general to avoid getting too picky, the spectacle isn't reduced by allowing or disallowing that try.
