I know that you know the definition but let me recall here the definition of Keep Clear. After I will connect it with with our case.
"Keep Clear
A boat keeps clear of a right-of-way boat
(a) if the right-of-way boat can sail her course with no need to take avoiding action and,
(b) when the boats are overlapped, if the right-of-way boat can also change course in both directions without immediately making contact."
Please read the TR CALL A2 witch is similar to what we sailed. In you video :
t=30s, I dont respond to your luff because I am able to keep clear even if you go at close-hailed.
t=34s, You are close-hailed and at this moment there would be no immediate contact if you changed course in any direction. So I still keep clear.
t=35s, To continue to keep clear I now must bear down which is the best way to do it.

To end : I must respond to a luff only to keep clear. While I am keeping clear, I may not respond to a luff. I showed above that even when you luffed at close-hauled, I was still keeping clear (from the RRS definition).
