My only caveat would be that there are some other arm and or leg movements not associated with the pitch that could be illegal feints.

This still will require further clarification. Remember that FED has uses "in the set position" in two different ways. At times it refers only to the position of the feet, and at times it includes when the hands come together. At some point the will have to tell us which they mean this time.
