#1. Really? Look at that video again. He shuffled his feet several times never really moved away from his initial spot at all....maybe 1 foot of distance shifted. Look at the marks for the photographers behind him. They're about 2-3 feet in length. He stays right in front of one of them. I'd put money on the official just not knowing that rule and thinking traveling does apply. It wouldn't be the first time.
#2. Agree.
