You can go on and on. Whether an advantage was gained or not, has no bearing
on whether or not to inforce a violation.

Speaking ASA

Actually, the violation isn't for "leaving early", but failing to keep contact with the base prior to the (FP) ball leaving the pitcher's hand or (SP) the ball reaching the plate or touching the ground.
