Until the GDC figures out a clear way to explain this, we're going to have trouble.
I saw this suggested in another bumper thread somewhere, but I think it's worth repeating: an easy way to clarify this would be to rename "FRAME PERIMETER" to something more descriptive of what it actually is, like "CONVEX PERIMETER." That would help alleviate a lot of confusion regarding what constitutes a side of that perimeter.
