The problem is, how difficult is it for the average, non-special YouTube producer able to fix "b) a mistake was made."

?

And, how long are they refused earnings during that time?

It's similar to the copyright infringement stuff, where real livelihoods can be put in jeopardy from these sorts of decisions.

I'm not saying that b) is OK or means that everything is going well. I'm saying that assuming that the policy is bizarre means you're most likely looking for the problem in the wrong spot.
