Whose ruling are you referring? I've made no judgements on others rulings realtive to bunts and strikes.
I said it is very difficult to remain motionless while showing bunt. The batters eyes are following the pitch and it's difficult for the body not to sway a bit towards the pitch. It's got nothing to do with the
rule, I understand it and have no problem with it. My
rulings(which I generally like) relative to this
rule are judgement calls. If the batter is making any attempt at all to pull back then I know there is no intent to strike the ball. If the batter stays motionless there is apparently no intent. If there is ANY movement forward or toward the ball then I have intent.
All I'm saying is that I rarely see a batter who is too lazy to pull the bat back also be able to remain motionless.
