It all depends on whether you have agreed a particular ruling at the start of the game or not. If you manoeuver your titan near the table edge knowing that it might stagger and fall into the 'chasm of doom' (even as the result of a dice roll) then you must accept the consequences.
The point is that even if the titan is actually on the edge, the chances of it actually staggering off into oblivion are quite slim:-
1/6 (for the critical) * 1/2 (for staggering the wrong way) * the chances of the firer hitting the titan in the first place (having avoided shields).
(or pretty much a racing certainty when it comes to my infamous dice 
) Though, you're looking at it from the wrong end of the lens. It'll only be when the event comes up, that there'll be a conflicting perspective. 9 games out of 10, it won't even be an issue. In that tenth game, it's got the potential to completely decide the game.
And BECAUSE it's a rare situation, it's something that is unlikely to be remembered or considered in the "Pre-Game Discussion". Personally, beyond the purely subjective (example, what terrain features count as, if vague), there should be a default NetEA position for every item in the list. Having arguments in the middle of a game because of rules inconsistencies (usually because it's of benefit to the arguer) is my least enjoyable aspect of wargaming. Minimizing that should be a priority of the NetERC in my opinion.
