After reading & re-reading the Q&A system about this subject I will use one of FIRST's analogies.

They like to use the baseball analogy of touching a base. I agree that a baseball player is not safe just by hovering over a base but what about the baseball player that slides into a base? they are still their original size, just oriented differently. I know no umpire that would rule a player out because he slid.
