Pyraminx tips and clock pins are very different. Tips actually change the state of the puzzle. If a pyraminx is solved, and you move a tip, it's not solved anymore. If a clock is solved, and you push a pin, it's still solved. I will never not view clock pins as analogous to cube rotations. The only thing that changes is how the moves you do will affect the state of the puzzle (y R = F ≠ R).
I think pin pushing in inspection should be allowed.
If moving pins during inspection is allowed, I think the WCA needs to abolish specified pin orders. @JDAW6 and @OtaMota are correct in saying it influences the solve. Additionally, pin order during inspection would pertain to scrambled state (which cannot be altered during inspection) rather than solved state. Pin orders are a very important factor, and putting them in a particular arrangement before the solve provides an advantage, even though it doesn’t matter if the pins are up and down in the final solved state. One could arrange pins however works best for them, so if pins must be randomized in a scramble, they need to stay that way prior to executing the solve.
