Paired Weapon contains a specific rule that states that if you have the Quick Draw feat then splitting is a free action. Thus Mercurius' sequence appears to me to be exactly and indisputably RAW. He's using the free action between the minor action draw and the standard action attack. Now, MAYBE, depending on how you interpret things he could even skip the minor action and do the draw/split/attack as 2 free actions taken during the attack. This would clearly have been the case up until this podcast. Personally I don't consider a podcast to be a rules source though, and I consider the interpretation they've taken there to be HIGHLY suspect since it contradicts numerous other examples and creates various problems. However, it is certainly legitimate to say that there is at the very least confusion on the topic of free actions within other actions. I'd say that confusion goes right to the top...Frankly at my table Mercurius can draw->split->attack as a single action given that he's spent a feat and taken a very specific weapon enchantment in order to get there.</blockquote>
