The problem with saying, as you did, "A unit is considered charged, from the moment a charge has been declared against it." is that it doesn't take into consideration the point I'm trying to make - we cannot be sure it ALWAYS means this. In some instances it seems a unit is considered charged only when they are successfully charged.
Also, stating that most people are smart enough to know which part of the process requires is a bit derogatory. I assume you are mainly meaning me, but saying that a person that cannot by themselves figure out from context what part is required is not smart enough to read the rules sounds quite harsh. Different people have different ways of reading the same text. Don't assume everyone reads it as you do, or that your way of reading it is always correct. GW didn't use linguists when writing the rules and just because a term of phrase generally is interpreted in a certain way doesn't mean that is the way the authors ment it.
As to the second statement you make, about FS being a bit derogatory, I feel you are ignoring the fact that this thread is on page two, with a clear answer being provided to the question. Could he have chosen better words instead of constantly bringing up cartesian anxiety? Perhaps, but that phrase perfectly describes what often happens when trying to interpret the rules as opposed to just doing what it says you CAN do. You clearly understand what is being put across. Also, remember, this game is only supported by us, and can be played by us as we see fit. If your group loves the idea of a duo of heroic individuals charging out of a unit of swordsmen to down a vicious monster, play it that way.
