Will the inspectors take care of it all, or do we need eagle eyes to tell which edge/component crossed the perimeter first? What if I see a partially obscured Y/V/U and mistake it for two "1"s?

I would expect this to be handled similarly to 2010, where it was the responsibility of the inspectors to ensure that a ball could not get more than 3in into the frame, so that the refs only have to look for obvious violations of the rule, like deploying two completely different appendages at the same time.
