Localized area(s) that do not contain opposed points

2018 states on 5.8.1. (e) : Where a portion of a regular feature of size has a localized area(s) that do not contain opposed points, the actual value of an individual distance at any cross section between the unrelated AME to a point on the surface may not violate the LMC limit. See Figure 5-9.

Is this condition in alignment with the sphere swept definitions in Y14.5.1 (math standard)?
In other words I would like to know if there is any conflict between 5.8.1. (e) --above -- and the LMC sphere concept (local size that I would like to see is to align its definition with the sphere swept definitions in Y14.5.1, usually referred to as the "LMC sphere" concept).

Is 5.8.1. (e) a clarification? A change? A new addition?
What it is and what value added willl bring?

Per ASME Y14.5.1-2019

2.3.2.3 LMC Size Limit
(a) Definition. The LMC size limit describes a half-space formed by sweeping a ball having the diameter of the LMC size limit along a spine of appropriate dimension for the
feature (zero-dimensional point for a sphere feature of size, one-dimensional curve for a cylindrical feature of size, or a two-dimensional surface for a parallel plane feature of size). The resulting volume is referred to as the LMC half-space.

(b) Conformance. For an external feature, the tolerance limit is satisfied if the feature is contained in the complement of the LMC half-space for some spine. For an internal feature, the tolerance limit is satisfied if the feature is contained within the LMC half-space for some spine.

(c) Actual Value. The actual minimum material size is the largest ball that can be swept along a spine so that the feature is contained within the complement of the resulting half-space (for external features) or smallest ball that can be swept along a spine so that the feature is contained within the resulting half-space (for internal features).
