The point he was making was that it can falsify someone's statistics. Think psychologically about what this would do do the spar community. If people were allowed to reset their spar record, those who would do so would do it because they're unhappy with their record, right? We can assume then that for the most part, the records being reset are negative, even, or barely positive. What happens next is why I don't support this idea. Once these same people reset their spar record, they have in mind that their only goal is to look "pro" and good at spar. They will most likely go to any sort of extreme to get a shiny, good looking record on their profile, including selective spar and boosting. I don't think anyone wants this sort of behavior to be common in the spar community. Now I'm not saying that this sort of behavior would come out of everyone, as I'm sure it wouldn't. But the large numbers that will exhibit this reaction, and the effect that would have, outweighs the somewhat more "legitimate" request for others that wouldn't abuse it as such.
