My point being the spirit and the intent of the rule is to set the offense for a second. Is the leg lift a way to deceive the defense?

After all 11 players come set and a player goes in motion, where does the rule say that the other 10 players are required to remain completely and totally motionless? Are we going to flag a similir move of someone's head or an end who moves an arm?
