Me either.
In my mind the whole "in the box, outta the box" thing is what lets you
decide if a cone was hit or not. By definition if the cone isn't outta
the box, it wasn't hit, therefore there's no 2 sec. penalty.
Now, if you're on the wrong side of the cone and don't knock it outta the
box, you didn't "hit" it and are therefore off course.
