I know it's hard to tell from a still, but it sure looks like 16's upper frame is hitting the vertical that 2848's shooter is mounted to. Which is well inside the frame perimeter.

At any rate, I think the primary issue is that your initial post seemed dismissive of the whole category of G29 fouls. Since you acknowledge that they do exist, the issue boils down to whether athe few stills and video we have show some evidence of deliberate and damaging contact. I think we can file this under "Judgement Calls" and everybody can move on.
