Honestly, has anyone ever seen a play and said: the player crossed the inbounds side of the boundary line, but stopped short of crossing the out of bounds side.
Sure, it it'll make you feel better, we can agree with that. A 3" boundary line? Maybe not. None of that however still doesn't change the fact that there's not a damn thing the matter with the FED rules language cited above. As Snaqs pointed out, it nicely covers the varying width of all boundary lines that we might run into.

Paralysis through analysis.
