The question still remains.

The rules on a dead ball were changed to permit stealing.

Why limit the rule change to only balls that cross the plate?

Once the ball either hits the ground or reaches the plate a runner can steal.

Remember the OP asked for thoughts on stealing.

I'll make it real simple for you and the OP. Dead ball means everything stops. That's the purpose of the term "dead" in Dead ball...
