The part I have highlighted suggests that you would call advantage over as soon as a player puts boot to ball. I don't think you can assume we would all agree with that view.
You really do need to get your head around exactly what the thinking is behind a scrum advantage for a knock-on.
Following the law book supports my view which is also the way it is refereed around the world (except for the dissenting few). If you argue that your interpretation of Law 12 supports your view then you are saying it is a new law that has not been communicated by WR.
When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.
Today's referee awarded a 22 when the ball was knocked on into in-goal (from some distance out).
He hadn't seen that situation before, so guessed but was happy to accept that he got it wrong. None of the players complained.

yes, indeed.
So talk me through how you assess if advantage is over
blue attacking, send the ball into red in goal, and knock on
red defender gathers the ball and you play advantage
red defender kicks the ball .... if you don't call adv over when he kicks it, talk me through what you are waiting for and what is the decision if
a) the kick is directly into touch
b) if the kick is directly into touch-in-goal
