Your reasoning is as good as mine, but neither has been tested really.
 
My take on it is that policy complaints on echomail matters can be invoked by a 
moderator if nicely asking, and after that not so nicely asking (followed by 
the 'Italian Victory Salute' aka 'the george bush sign' probably) doesn't work 
when moderating where-after said moderator could become annoyed enough to seek 
help and file a formal complaint, not on content, but on the technical ground 
of being prevented from performing his/her moderator job.
 
At that point a minor technicality comes into play ... "what determines who the 
moderator is?" ... and there's no uniform way of defining it between the 
zones...
