As JJ suggests, it's at least theoretically possible that a batter could do something that would "keep him in the box" - but that would be the exception rather than the rule.

I think JJ said it best, we have to umpire. That's what we are there for.
You will know it when player does not attempt to avoid the pitch, so will everyone else in the park.
Umpire the game, don't make it too difficult.
I'm sure FED has a reason for the change, probably because umpires were not calling the obvious ones.
