6-2 (when the pitch starts), and 6-3-A (if you start, you must immediately pitch) is what we're talking about on this one.

Your paraphrase of 6-3-A is not accurate. It does not say "if you start, you must immediately pitch"
It says that you "can't make a motion to pitch without immediately delivering the ball to the batter"
My opinion all along has been that there has been no "motion to pitch" yet. The pitch has started by rule since the hands have separated, but the "motion to pitch" has not started.
