The emporer must be able to see the ball at all times of the service and the player you are playing against has to see the ball too. So the arm has to be gone or the other player can't see the ball. This complex rule is easiest to explain it this way: The emporer and the other player must be able to see the ball at all times. Then no discussion is possible

Theoretically yes, you are fully right.
But in the practice in Germany it's a bit different, especially in classes below the 6th German division (Landesliga).
Many players anyway do not fit the required 16 cm's, but they are much lower (up to zero cm's).
Therefore more or less -and against the "official rules"- many players / referees agree in practice that "as long as the ball receiver sees the ball and does not feel hindred". That always causes inconfortable feelings and finally many of the players below 6th division see this sport as their common hobby and partially they commonly drink a beer after the end of the game.
Above 6th division that is more or less a different thing and I there nearly all players fulfill what you stated above.
What's the "ball server" behavior in your country ?
