No, you ARE RIGHT. Stop signs mean STOP, not pause, not speed through, just STOP. Regardless of whether there is traffic or not, the law says we stop for the STOP sign. If it was meant as a yield then it would be a yield sign instead of a STOP sign. When I was a COP, I rarely gave speeding tickets, but I would give a violation of a red light or stop sign every time I witnessed it.
