You are ignoring the following two points:

"The Trademark is used in a way that makes it clear that your project is a
development effort related to the Arch Linux source, but that the software you
are working upon is not in fact Arch Linux as distributed by the Arch Linux
project"

"There is no suggestion (through words or appearance) that your project is
approved, sponsored, or affiliated with Arch Linux or its related projects
unless it has been approved by and is governed by the Arch Linux Project Lead."

Where they fail at both accounts regardless if you want to argue about the
semantics of what is and isn't a "substantial change".
