In this TWP situation, I'm going to judge an attempt to advance towards a particular base (and commitment to that base) when the runner is headed in that direction, but by rule if I run figure-eights all the way to 2B, have I ever stopped??

Actually, I don't find that to be TWP-ish at all. Lots of runners make that little loop - probably not all the way to 2B, but in rounding the bag at first.
