for one it doesn't follow the letter of the bumper rules. I bet if you measured the protection of the corner you would have less that 2.5" of noodle between your wood backing and your fabric. The GDC went to great lengths to have multiple pictures of what was legal and what wasn't. I understand that doing it this way allows for more room in the 54" cylinder. No need to bite the guys head off for suggesting something that is rather straight forward.
