PG 76 of the BRB says "...scouts make make a normal move. Done exactly as in their movement phase." There for if my movement is to disembark all i have to do is meet the conditions equivalent to a movement phase. They started the phase (we'll call it the scout movement phase ) inside the transport there for they met the requirements of a movement phase and can disembark.

Wrong.... they can ONLY move as if in their movement phase.
Embarking and disembarking during the movement phase, but have their own subset of rules within that phase, that means after the game has begun. They are also not part of a 'normal move'.

There is NO SUCH THING as a scout movement phase. It is a scout move done before the game begins.

Although I really hate rules discussions (the only ones I care about are the ones that me and my opponent of the day agree to) and am completely firmly in the RAI camp as opposed to RAW in general matters.

However, it seems to me that the discussion has tended to miss the main point that's been raised.

It seems to me that the keyword is the 'begins.'

Therefore, using 'Gwar Logic' - which is very much correct in the context that he defines it as (I'll summarize as RAW or bust) the fact that the 'begins its' is there means that the state

Movement phase begun must equal 'true' before unit may disembark.

I'm sure if it weren't nearly 3am I could do some structured English if/else statements that might clarify the no-disembark point but well, brain is currently mush.

pg 67: A unit that begins its Movement phase aboard a vehicle can disembark either before or after the vehicle has move.
I do not see that disembarking is limited to the movement phase but that if you are in the vehicle you can disembark.
I say if the vehicle has scout it can move in the scout movement phase. If a unit with scout is inside a transport I would support that he could disembark from said vehicle.

Yeah.... no.

There is no Scout Movement Phase. There is a Scout Move. Big Difference. How can you not see that disembarking is limited to the movement phase? The rule EXPLICITLY STATES that in order to disembark, the unit must "[begin] its Movement phase aboard a vehicle".

During the scout move, the unit has never had a chance to "[begin] its Movement phase aboard a vehicle".
