I think that you are nit-picking the rule to death. No one really knows what is meant by this rule, or any rule for that matter. I think that you should use common sense when interpreting any rule in any sport. Remember that we never have a ruler on the court measuring the 6 foot distance so we are always estimating. It is much simpler to estimate from the feet then to start worrying about "is the bosy bent over" or "are the arms extended towards the opponent." In short: don't sweat the small stuff and worry about the things that need and deserve concern during a game.
