Right, so, we're back to the age-old and well-worn concept of INTENT regarding this issue which cannot be judged. Therefore, saying that Adsense may not go on pages published for the purpose of showing ads is meaningless.

Well, you're the guy who judged my intent by suggesting that my site existed "solely for the purpose of displaying ads." Your current assertion that intent can't be judged seems a bit disingenuous after your earlier post.

In any case, you're wrong when you say that the issue can't be judged, because it most definitely can be judged by Google. If Google decides that a site violates the TOS for any reason (invalid clicks, "made for AdSense," the owner's posting disparaging remarks about Google, or whatever), then the Webmaster is left with no account and no recourse except to gnash his teeth and wail on this forum.
