inconsequent: lacking worth or importance.
By this defination the orientation of the robot does not have an importance or worth. Therefore it doesn't matter which way the robot faces it would still be out of the box. Just think about it, if they meant it. they would have to give everyone a direction in which this virtual box faces.

Actually, the rule book specifically tells teams not to "lawyer" the rules and such. By that, they mean stick to the spirit of the competition and don't look for loopholes to get the advantage through devious game play.
I think innovation refers not to creativity in interpreting the rules, but rather, the game.

Don't read too much into it. 72 inches is 72 inches regardless of what way you face your robot.
