I can't understand why people in this thread are blind to the fact that there are 2 different prohibitions there -- one in the case book alone (a second before motion), the other (a second before the snap) in both the rules and the case book.

Forgive me Robert, but the reason seems to be "the difference" may exist ONLY in your view. I have no idea what, "the 2nd part, the part that isn't in the rule book" is, or where you suggest it exists.

Perhaps if you were to include a Case Book reference, reading the input in full context might help clarify your confusion. However, the Rule is the rule and the Case Book is intended to help understand the Rule. Truthfull, I can't see any ambiguity, confusion or room for question in the veriage of NF: 7-2-6.
