See RFC 3415, section 2.4.2

   For each possible managed object instance, that instance belongs to a
   particular ViewTreeFamily if ....

   -  each sub-identifier in the OBJECT IDENTIFIER name of the managed
      object instance matches the corresponding sub-identifier of the
      family name whenever the corresponding bit of the associated
      family mask is non-zero.


That seems to match your colleague's understanding.

In what way are the results not conclusive?
Please post a particular example where you would expect a given
OID to be in (or out) of view, when the results imply otherwise.
