It seems to me that the intent of these starting positions should restrict the robot in the far zone to only touching the alliance station wall regardless of if it is touching the ramp or not. If that is the case, my version of that first bullet would read "In the far ZONE and in contact with the ALLIANCE STATION WALL." What are other people's thought on this?

The rule regarding starting positions is what it is. It is not going to change. Leave it alone.
