I guess one could however say that an illegal snap is a dead ball foul that only occurs simultaneously with the snap.

Wrong.

2-40-1 A snap is the legal act of passing the ball backward from the position of the ground.

It can't be simultaneous with the snap (which is legal) when you have an illegal snap. They are 2 different things. You can't have an illegal snap and a snap on the same play.

It all goes back to definitions. I like the old expression: READ RULE 2
