Educated guess here, but I suspect that they will simply show that wing tip icing is not critical. This is nothing new - wing anti-ice does not protect the full wing span, just the 'important' parts. The folding wing tips will not have wing anti-ice protection in-flight, so a logic extension is that they can also show that wing tip icing is not flight critical during TO.
