Carl adds the following note: At last the NFHS has dropped the charade that going to the mouth on the rubber is illegal because the pitcher has interrupted his pitching motion. (There is more written about this note. See BRD 375).

So it is no longer linked with interrupting the pitching motion. It's simply a balk because it is a balk. This is an easier argument to make IMHO.
I don't think they've dropped that charade. I think they're just inconsistent. And, it was pointed out on multiple threads on multiple boards the year the change was made. But, FED hasn't changed the cae to match.
