2) FED's intent may have been to be in line with other codes (OBR) their wording misses the point.
In OBR and NCAA, a pitcher may turn his shoulder during his "stretch" as he is coming "set" whether his hands are together or not. Once he is in the "set position," he is prohibited from turning his shoulders by virtue of it being an illegal feint to first base.
In the example given, FED has said exactly the opposite.
