That was a perfectly rational explanation right up to the point where you made
the above statement.

Offensive fouls such as illegal formation, illegal shift, and illegal motion
are considered fouls "at the snap".  Until the snap is made, Team A has the
opportunity to correct the mistake by getting into legal position or coming set
for one second.

Why would you deny Team A such a chance?
