Rules of making a Peanut Butter Sandwich.
1) You must put peanut butter on one slice of bread.
2) You must put the 2 pieces of bread together.
So, if I put peanut butter on my spoon, lick the spoon, and then put peanut butter on one slice of bread, followed by putting the pieces of bread together... have I now successfully made a peanut butter sandwich? Or did my tasting of the peanut butter first turn my sandwich into something else?

Now you're just being insane. Take a gander at 6-1-0. I believe it says pitching regulations start when the pitcher toes the rubber.
6-3-0 discusses balks and mentions taking signs off the rubber.
I think it condtradicts itself about pitching regulations and balks. I'm in the camp it isn't a balk. Others say it is.
Not sure I have the right rule citations, but I don't care. Now go make yourself a peanut butter sandwich, take a deep breath to calm dowm, READ them and see what you think, and quit trying to be a pain in people's behind.
However, if this was on a FED test, they would more than likely say it is a balk.
