If you're going to allow a QB to claim he started to slide but then legitimately changed his mind, then you also have to allow for a defender to say, yes I saw him start but I legitimately thought he was going to change his mind and so I blew him up.
It's akin to faking or changing mind in the middle of beginning to signal fair catch. Once you start, that's it. There's no second thought or consideration afforded to defenders, so there shouldn't be for the ball carrier either.
