The clock always starts on the RFP after an IW.

Then what's the significance of the qualifying phrase, "if the clock was stopped for any reason other than specified in Rule 3-4-3 or an untimed down"? Doesn't that mean that if the clock is stopped for reasons specified in 3-4-3, that would supersede 3-4-2(c), and the clock would start on the snap?
