I do not know if I can put it into words, but I will give an example. Team A has the ball in its front court. A1 (he/she could be the 6'-06" center or the 5'-06" point guard) is standing at the free throw line to set a screen. A1 has one foot about four inches into the paint. Tweet!! Three seconds. How does this effect the play? I hope this answers your question.

I understand advantage/disadvantage. What I'm asking you is why do you feel it should only apply to 3 seconds and not other violations? I don't know how to make it any clearer.
Here's an example for you. A1 is dribbling the ball up the floor, still in the BC. The defense is packed back in a tight zone with the closest defender 40' away from A1. While dribbling, A1 carries the ball on one dribble.
Are you going to call that? How does this effect the play? It's no different than the play you describe feom an advantage/disadvantage viewpoint. If you don't call it, then you've applied advantage/disadvantage.
