Using the plate as a gauge doesn't seem logical. The batters size, position in the box, and length of bat shouldn't have any say in this determination.

For me, "offer" means they were attempting to make deliberate contact with the ball. An example of non-deliberate would be swinging the bat while twisting out of the way of the pitch.
It's all judgement baby.
