Had the GDC not published the ball deflector as a means of ball clearing, both in the field drawings and the Field tour video, you might have a point.
What I saw at both the Week 0 and the Week 1 was balls that the ball deflector worked on balls that were stuck reasonably far under the bridge, as depicted in the field tour video. However, balls that were near the very end of the ramp would not roll out, as might be reasonably expected because the lexan is supposed to be taped down by its edge. Even with the change is still impossible to tip out balls that are only partly under the bridge.

It might be that some fields (and even different bridges on the same field) were setup slightly differently and therefore behaved differently and that you and I merely have different observations.
