Jerry,
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but, no, he may not.
From OBR 8.01(b):

...Preparatory to coming to a set position, the pitcher shall have one hand on his side; from this position he shall go to his set position as defined in Rule 8.01(b) without interruption and in one continuous motion. ...

He can't start with his hands together. Not a balk - just a "don't do that".
FWIW, I agree with the rest of what you said.
