No I think you're missing something Bread forgive me.
The Bill clearly sets out a list of conditions which are numbered. They seem unambiguous to me.
Condition 1 - A withdrawal deal is agreed and approved by the House
Condition 2 - Leaving with No Deal is agreed and approved by the House
Condition 3 - "If neither of the conditions in subsection (1) or subsection (2) is satisfied, subsection (4) must be complied with no later than 19 October 2019."
Condition 4 - An extension must be requested
So it's there in black and white. You MUST satisfy either Condition 1 or Condition 2 otherwise you MUST satisfy Condition 4 (request extension).
Presenting May's deal back to the House does NOT satisfy Condition 1, unless the House approves it.

What you are saying is patently wrong in this case. The Benn Bill basically forces Boris to either come up with a deal that the House is willing to vote through, or to somehow get the House to vote through a No Deal exit, or failing both of those to request an extension.
Boris is shackled. Totally.
The only way out of this traitorous situation is to hold an election, vote a combination of Tory and BrExit parties into power, then repeal the Parliament Act, repeal the Benn Bill and proceed with a No Deal exit.
