And, if the actual pivot foot is lifted, the non-pivot foot may be twisted, rotated, pivoted on as long as the pivot foot itself doesn't come back to the floor....maybe that is what is being asked.

Yup, that is what I was asking about, and that's what I thought, but I guess I'd never really discussed that point specifically. Thank you!
