Video evidence from on-board camera showed otherwise.
Well he was far enough not to trip the transponder no matter what the camera suggests.
Tripping the transponder is for the amount of movement, not the absolute position. Drivers would park further back and jump start in a way they'd be still behind the white grid marker is it were any other way.
The camera suggested nothing. It showed clearly that the wheel was too far ahead before the red lights were off and section C does not mention the transponder. The stewards made an error by not properly reviewing the evidence, just as they originally noted the wrong incident and later during the race filed a correction. That's it. Mistakes happen, it's too late to apply a penalty. Doesn't mean that we cannot recognize that.
I would honestly be interested about where you got that the transponder is based on movement vs position. And I don't say that to catch you in a lie at all I am thoroughly honestly interested in this and would like to learn more about this tech.
edit: and yes from the in-board cam it does look like at least the contact patch was in-front you are right.
Literally the very first word in section A.
...Just says there's a transponder that's supposed to judge if there was movement. It says nothing about how said transponder achieves that judgement. It doesn't simply senses movement as you astutely pointed out the car very obviously moved. That means it needs a reference point.
So Is it gps? Is it an accelerometer? Is there another sensor on the grid it has to cross? Is it telemetry? Why is there this much wiggle room?
