The other one is during matches, when ACTUAL entanglement happens. Basically the referees are going to call that when something do happen, and not at a risk of...
I think it is simply too much burden for FIRST to look into what's possible and not possible at being a risk of entanglement. So, it's more likely that they will leave it to the referees for the final decision on the field.

A third thing would be if in a match it even presents a TINY chance for entanglement...and because it is not time dependent, you could be racking up a huge score, and you set off your secondary bot, and *BOOM* your get DQed, and the other alliance just got three times YOUR HUGE score...
Its not IF it will entangle or not, or IF someone does get entangled, its the RISK that it MIGHT entangle, even if all the other robots are FAR away. (sorry for the "shouting"...just trying to emphasize the important parts of the rule).
