I was just uncertain how a stationary unit in the open would be spotted automatically when there is intervening DT, while a stationary unit in DT with nothing between it and the spotter requires a roll. The same amount of DT is present in each case (as far as I can see).

It makes sense to me, actually. If a unit is actually in degrading terrain they can lie in the grass or bushes or whatever. If they're behind it, they're basically lying on the open ground and are visible through the (many) gaps in the DT. Near where I live I've found spots in the park which are my reference points for degrading/blocking woods terrain (I've also paced out a hex, for the fun of it) and I've come to think the system is right, as is.
