That is, it is part of the core mechanics that you need to determine the hex through which a ranged attack is coming. This is usually perfectly easy, but unfortunately we weren't given details on what to do about this when it comes through a spine.
That's a pretty good point. Thrown weapons coming through the spine are fairly common, though much less so for a spine of the rear hex.
