A POE during a previous season made the same comment and I wrote then that it was not accurate. This is nothing more than someone attempting to create a ruling through their editorial position or task of crafting the language for the POEs.
If POE 2e is telling us to call a foul when players standing in lane spaces touch then i agree. not supported by any rules and absurd. I try to avoid thinking they would mean the absurd. (maybe i shouldn't).
