But section 2 says that you have the right to modify the GPLed work
("the program"), creating a work based on the program provided that
you release the word based on the program under the GPL (which, in the
context you create would also be called "the program").

This contradicts your analysis: if your analysis is true you have
no right to modify the GPLed work and distribute the result.
