I don't think I ever remember seeing the diameter of the ring being on the test.
However, there is no way an official can know how ot apply a rule they don't know. I've seen many otherwise great officials screw up on less common situations and even some routine ones simply because they go by the "common" understanding of the rule rather than the actual rule.
