Thanks, Enkrateia... that's still not a perfectly clear answer, but the fact it's not 100-percent clear adds to the clarity, imo.

My takeaway from that is even good-intentioned resets can still result in account actions, but that GMs aren't soulless beasts who blindly "side" with one point of view over another.

I don't know how much more clear than this you want it to be.
If it were that simple, the GM would flat-out say it... but, just above, the GM says "Again, there is no single, absolute definition of what will be found to be a violation, since every situation is unique and must be considered as a whole. The infinite possible permutations of unique situations prevents an absolute definition."

Seems "clear" enough to me now.
