I see obscure to mean that you use a font that is easily legible so your not using windings or some other crazy font thats hard to read. Yes obscure has the meaning of concealment but it also has the meaning making something difficult to understand or unclear, that is the obscure I see when looking at the Q&A answer.

They made the rule that you are allowed to use an appendage, no where does it say that your appendage can't block the numbers on the bumpers. Also considering that the appendage can be articulated during the match to be in several positions that doesn't block the numbers I see no reason why it would be considered against the rules.
