To thoroughly beat this dead horse, my point was that if you start your turn
before the MAP, you have no missed approach procedure to follow that will
guarantee you 'safety' since the missed approach procedure starts at the
MAP.

What you write about an early turn is true. However, nobody who advocates
not timing from the FAF is advocating turning prior to the missed approach
point!

What you don't seem to understand is that there are a number of ways to
determine a MAP in addition to timing from the FAF. And that timing is
probably the least accurate of all of them.
