I've had several occasions where I couldn't tell if a disc was IB or OB. Is that moist soil or surrounded by water? Is that disc buried by a layer of thatch past that cable that is 3' above it? Given my level of visual acuity and ability to interpret those data I must be 100% certain of the discs status before I would make the call. If I'm not 100% certain, I can't make the call. If you issued me a courtesy warning I would accept it with a smile and think, "Wow, you are fun to play with."
Saying that you don't think the disc is "clearly and completely surrounded by an out-of-bounds area" - and therefore is not OB - is making a call. You would not be subject to a courtesy violation for weighing in with that opinion.
