PL guidance on holding?

From "journalist" David Ornstein. Is this nonsense, or what?

PL guidance on shirt pulling: refs look for tug to create a triangle shape. Laws prevent holding in box but not shirt pulls. VAR ruled Egan didn’t have enough of Sokratis shirt or tug long enough to overturn. Subjective call. If pen given, unlikely to have been overturned.

What's his next article on, how to cure cancer. Seriously, how would someone who has no idea about something can think they can talk about it authoritatively.
 
I suspect that the writer is explaining poorly is someone's effort to explain what trifling means--a handful of shirt is not necessarily a foul. (The triangle concept isn't hopelessly bad, either: if you have enough of a shirt to actually impact the player, that tension likely will create a triangle.)
