When the wings arent on the car if you sit them on the ground they are below the reference plane.
Not being attached to the car is "any circumstance".

The rules cant be 100% accurate in every circumstace, thats why they have the 10mm deflection at 50kg rule.

If you want to be that specific "under any circumstances", then due to the rotation of the earth, 1kg is a different measuremet closer to the equator than it is at the poles.
Hey, i'll even go all out and say does it mention that the 10mm/50kg deflection as to be measured in atmospheric conditions?
What if you measured the deflection in water, it would be a lot less.
There is nothng in the rules to say it has to be measured in earths atmosphere....... hmmmm.

now you're just being silly - and you know it
