Whether or not it is the pitcher's "normal motion" has nothing to do with whether or not a balk is properly called.

What about my understanding is incorrect?

No body ever mentioned "properly called" the discussion is what was likely to be called and in MLB for what ever reason correctly or incorrectly "no stop" balk are rarely if ever called, epically if that is part of a pitchers "normal motion".

Now for properly called you would be correct, but again that is not the question at hand.
