If your foot is in contact with the ground, it is bearing weight. Weather it's the toe, or bottom of foot really makes little difference. The rule book refers to the back foot as the "Pivot" foot.... not drag foot, or non weight bearing foot... pivot foot.

Then many of us are doing it wrong - Because if that's legal then every pitcher should "pivot" "Replant" and get a second push..

It would be insane not to.

lol.......... some real mental gymnastics going on here to try to make your point. If a toe is barely on the ground it isn't weight bearing and it's called the pivot foot because of where it STARTS, not what it does after the push off.
