The problem with is that it isn't what the rule says. There's not even a loose interp of the rule that says this.
Why would an OL be allowed to BBW if the QB is under center but not allowed to if he's in the shotgun? The risk of injury is no less because the QB is under center.
My point is that if 2 point stance blocking below the waist is illegal in the shotgun, it should be illegal in all plays. But it isn't.
I realize that you didn't invent this interp but to me, it's senseless. You either allow BBW when in the shotgun or you don't, period.
