You're the one insisting that's the only way to read the RAW.

You're the one insisting that there is no other way to interpret the RAW.

Colloquially, it is silly to say, "The ninja stopped wielding the shuriken in order to throw it at the samurai."
If you recall, I have long indicated that my argument does not rely on a definition of "wield".

We can agree that in the case of a thrown weapon that it is "wielded" even when it is striking the target and delivering damage and not in one hand.
