lol lets go through your post:

Regarding handball they now ask the referee to consider the proximity of the potential offender to the person last playing the ball,

and importantly whether the offender's arms are in a natural or unnatural position.
and this does not mean "arms outside the body" as you said. Your hands exist, naturally, outside of your body. Yedlin's arms are allowed to exist.

So the question of intent is now, did the offender deliberately place his arms in an unnatural position to increase the chances of the ball hitting him?
yedlin had one arm at his side and another covering his face. To say he was increasing the chances of his hands hitting the ball by covering is face is really dumb. This is literally the type of handball the call fifa was trying to end.
