How do you define getting the head/shoulder past the defender then? Your interpratation breaks down with this citation. Path is implied otherwise there would be no point to the rule...."past the defensive player" relative to what?

Except that the rule you just cited says that the count shall stop....and it doesn't say anything about losing LGP.
