Let's remember that the LBR is really a casual reference to a rule about controlling runners. Just like D3K really should be U3K, this rule should be called CTR (control the runner) as the "look back" component is only part of it and the runner rarely "looks back" anyway. They either run back or keep going. Regardless of whether the 3 points mentioned are directly related to the normal run-stop-run aspects; they are restrictions placed on runers by the rules makers. The relationship to the reaminder of the rule is the timing and conditions of their being in effect.
I'm not saying that I like or dislike these restrictions, just that they are part of the CTR.
