Just by you.

The situation you posed has the pitcher losing possession for a microsecond, and then positing that a runner was touching the base in the microsecond before they lose it, and not touching the base in the microsecond after they lose it.

NO ONE is implying anything close to that as a possibility.

The OP, however, the pitcher CLEARLY is described to be NOT in possession and control of the ball (by rule). And at that point, the LBR is off.
