Gentlemen,
The casebook comment under 8.01 tells us what the rule is for and what the penalty is. It's to keep the pitcher from, "step(ping) quickly onto the rubber and pitch(ing)." And if the pitcher does that, it, "may be judged a quick-pitch by the umpire."
If the pitcher isn't stepping quickly onto the rubber and quick-pitching, there is nothing to call.
Don't be pickers and leave those nits alone.
