"At the moment a slur is started" is not the same as "square in the
middle of the musical expression when a moment is started".

And it's not like I have not explicitly explained it:

Sometimes it pays to read more than one sentence.  But if people did
that, our political landscape would likely be different.  Which does not
need to be a bad thing.
