I usually sit on your side of the fence regarding this...maybe I'm getting soft?

IIRC and it's a big if the t&c's used to say only "activity" on your account had to happen to keep it live.....any activity. Since Avios came along the t&c's changed to "earning activity" and transfers between avios.com and BAEC would not count.
If that is the case and I could be wrong then I think the OP is somewhat justified in claiming that because the t&c's changed sometime during the last 3 years it was easy to assume that a transfer of Avios would count as activity.
