I'm not familiar with Slo-Pitch specific rules, but I am fairly familiar with fast pitch rules.
I could be wrong, but I don't recall a mention of the word deception, "deceipt or decieive" as a factor in determining illegal pitch.
Perhaps you are using criteria from another sport that states:
Quote:
"Umpires should bear in mind that the purpose of the balk rule is to prevent
the pitcher from deliberately deceiving the base runner. If there is doubt in the umpire’s mind, the “intent” of the pitcher should govern."

Of course that has nothing to do with Softball.
