The purpose of the wording about taking or simulate taking the signal from the catcher is to make the pitcher pause once she steps on the pitcher's plate and prevent her from quick pitching. If there is a pause, even with her hands together, I don't have an illegal pitch.

But remember, as KJ said, in NCAA play, that once she step on the PP and brings her hands together, she only has 5 seconds to deliver the pitch.
