Let's call this statement RESET.

You might be, see below.

Let me translate that for you:

A := the percentage does go backwards
B := we need to give the user a really good reason

He said A -> B.

Having a RESET enum value allows us to fulfill B, thus:

RESET -> B

which suffices to say:

RESET -> (A -> B)

I don't see a contradiction ;)
