Dave, I looked carefully at it and I can see where you are coming from now.

Figure 8-2 (Blue Text added by me)

GDC Q/A Response, "both sides", "curves"

My Pro-GDC Analysis:
What you are supposed to infer from <R08-J> is that the Figure shows how to protect corners A, B, C, and D. The figure clearly demonstrates "both sides" of the corner as being protected.

My Dissent:
As a general rule of thumb- the GDC should not provide a figure as an example for a rule that violates other rules in the manual. This definitely creates confusion. The other part of the figure 8-2 which creates confusion is corners E and F. These two corners apparently are not corners and are in fact "curves." From the Q/A response, the GDC will not define a curve.

From that my friends, I may make without hesitation and purely for intellectual and kindly debate that I make this claim: In the Scott Hill Image corners A and B are not corners and are in fact "curves" making this configuration LEGAL.
