It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step.

Now we're into semantics again. Even though the above rule refers to the second foot touching as a step, if the player moves the same foot more than once, while keeping the pivot stationary, not only is this legal, I personally do not consider that this player has taken any steps at all.

The more I think about this, the dumber it all seems. This argument has nothing to do with the rule, but rather how to communicate with people who lack the proper understanding of the rule. Is there a correct answer to this question?

What was the original question again?
