Outside the field?

The recent team update 10 got me to thinking about <G20> and its vicinity. Please advise me if you think this logic is flawed.
1. Goals are outside the field (including funnels)
2. hanging chains are in the goals
3. <G20> says don't touch anything outside the field
4. Don't touch the chains

Some time ago I read the rules and I remember being amused to find that they tried to cover the eventuality that a robot could enter the funnel area as part of the play. "Who would do that?" I wondered "and risk entanglement in the chains." Now it appears to me that we may not even touch the chains. I suspect it will be impossible to get into a funnel without touching a chain, so no going into a funnel, however amusing it might be.

Corollary: the funnels are not part of the field either, so even if you're allowed to be there by <G22> it would be pretty darn hard to navigate that space without touching chain or walls (both outside the field).

'Tis a puzzlement.
