Here's the issue at hand:

The bug caused a serious problem that had to be fixed.
The PAUSE created entirely different problems that had ramifications for many people, regardless of whether or not some people will admit it (I'm sure the people here clamoring for no-reset are the ones that benefited).
The game should have been frozen entirely, not just paused. A complete freeze would have avoided this discussion entirely.

Bishop won't reset (And will probably reply to this trying to explain why a pause was a good idea), because he only cares about the top-tier players because he lacks business skills - and has a frustrating inability to admit when he's wrong.
