I can live with some grey area and mistakes when it comes to lowering of the knees as long as every instance when the arm of the player with the ball goes up is called an automatic play on. That's by far the most annoying free kick and the most pathetic way to play.
Most of the worst offenders like Shuey combine the two anyway and the telescope arm is an easy spot.
Once the rule beds in and the blatant arm-raising cheating is eliminated it shouldn't be too difficult to distinguish between legitimate low movement in traffic and the Shuey-esque drop to one knee where you'd have no chance of continuing to run if the free isn't paid.
