This part is also becoming more and more obvious. I have still never heard an explanation about "technical travels" and which part of the rule we are expected to ignore. The good news is that it is consistently ignored, so hopefully it favors no one.
This particular travel had zero affect on the play, so even if it was the only one of these all year anywhere, it didn't favor anyone.

As for how to figure out which part of the rule to ignore; it's not much different than 3 seconds, really. We get the stuff that's either egregious or advantageous. Knowing how those are defined is normally part of what separates marginal officials from high level officials.
