oax:hasContext isn't trying to select a part of a target for annotation. It's trying to say that a particular annotation makes the most sense when considered with the additional context provided by the oax:hasContext information.

This annotation is targeting a video fragment and the context is the document of the blogpost. In science we have plenty of similar examples for images/figures. I agree though that the example could be more explicit by elicitating that hasContext more by creating a more detailed annotation explicitly targeting the fragment of the video and the fragment of the page. However, the latter requires lots of work more that not all application/users are willing to perform.

I've added example (3) to the Option 1 section showing how I would model an annotation of part of a video and provide the context of the web page that the video was on when I made the annotation (and presumably that web page should be consulted to find the full meaning of the annotation).
