G27 and the Chute Door

Double checking through the rules, it looks like if the robot touches the chute door at all, its a disable. Q122 says its outside the field, and G27 says you cannot touch anything outside the field. So please be careful around the chute door.

I really don't understand why they made driving against the field border illegal. Since the chute door is barely behind the alliance wall, if you are driving along the wall and something touches the door, thats a disable, even though its completely safe. I have a feeling this is going be a foul corrected after week 1, because I would guess that a lot of teams working with the HP station will get disabled because of this.
