Knowing that, you can imply that if you pin for 4 seconds, then back off and let them move for a moment, then pin again. You have not violated the rules.

That being said, that is not what they mean. That is what the rules say, but the intention is to say "Don't pin. It isn't kind. It takes away from the fun of the game.
