I'm not making this complicated. I'm just re-stating what the rule says.
EDIT: I just re-read your statement. You CAN dive outside the pylon as long as the ball is INSIDE, INTO or OVER the pylon. So I guess, technically, your statement is false.

Here you go. Pylon placement is supposed to be inside the field of play, and the above pylon pictured is inaccurate. Being that the pylon shown is Out of Bounds, any contact not to the inside would be considered out of bounds.

The four intersections of goal lines and sidelines must be marked, at inside corners, by weighted pylons.

ARTICLE 3. BALL OUT OF BOUNDS
Item 1: Ball in Player Possession. A ball that is in player possession is out of bounds when the runner is out of bounds, or when the ball touches a boundary line or anything that is on or outside such line, except another player or an official.

that is why when a player does not hit the inside of the pylon as placed in the original picture, it is called out of bounds and not a TD.
