By your reasoning a player could never execute a legal jump stop. That's not a practical argument for basketball. Officials deem both feet of a player to either land or leave the court simultaneously quite frequently during games.
So the point is that if a player has not yet established a pivot (either by landing or jumping with both feet simultaneously), then nothing which you have posted applies.

Not so....the phrase above was under the section covering both feet being on the floor when the ball is caught. In such a case, a jump stop is not an option. Thus, the lifting of a foot establishes a pivot.
