There is no rule preventing blitz and advance. There is no convincing argument against it.
Yes, there is. It's called "Move != Bliz Move", or "Advance replaces Move, not Blitz Move".

Move is defined by GW in their rules as picking up a model and placing it somewhere else wholly within the number of inches indicated on its datasheet. Both blitz and advance are clearly described as modifiers to that same move characteristic. You cannot Blitz or Advance without moving and you can do both only as long as you are moving.

I think the flavor text here is being taken a bit too literally. The mechanical interaction of the rule is clearly explained as "add X to Move characteristic".

But does advance say when you move, or when you Move?

No such thing as a blitz move. There is the blitz ability which tells you what to do when you move. There's also advance, which also tells you what to do when you move.
Blitz tells you when you move to do... as dies advance. Both allow you to move M+ a modifier.

Neither rule is stopped. Fir a raw guy you seem to really struggle here.

Looks like GW did actually wade in on this, sort of.

The Harlequins Faction Focus on the Warhammer Community site kind of put this debate to bed.

"However, the truly juicy ability he has that sets him apart from the rest is Blitz. The Blitz ability allows you to move an extra 2D6” and gain 2 Attacks once per game. With the fact your army can advance and charge, that’s a potential 30” move!"

I know that isn't a faq, but it certainly sets a pretty solid precedent
