HAHA! Well put. If A6 is indeed "you fall, you die," then that is indeed the end of the discussion. I guess my confusion came in because I kind of thought that when people said that, it was just as a side comment and not really part of the definition because of the supposition that the belay would be ripped off the wall if the leader fell, and that would normally mean both would fall to the ground. I was just trying to find a creative way around that unfortunate event that still would meet what I erroneously thought the definition of A6 to be.
Having thought about it more, by the way, my scenario is more like 2 climbers simulclimbing A5 with the second just clipping into the anchor very very long. I guess that wouldn't qualify.
