There is no confusion.  It is very simple.  Read carefully:

      If you wish to claim credit for a QSO, then include it in your log.
      If you don't wish to claim credit for a QSO, then omit it from your
      log.  

Anyone who believes "the penalty would have been avoided in past years
by zero-pointing" is *dreaming* unless they are thinking of the bygone
days of paper logs.

Please note, my comments reflect REALITY and do not reflect some
utopian ideal for how things *should* be.
