I'm not arguing with you, just posting an interpretation still on the FAA site. The Hryniw interpretation says that "The RAP ends when a flightcrew member is either released from the RAP by the certificate holder or assigned to an FDP." So you aren't on both a RAP and FDP at the same time. And the FDP starts only when the RAP ends.
