Serve Actively

I've noted in a number of discussions here, focusing on Eagle
advancement, that if an advancment appeal gets up to
National, they will accept mere registration in a Troop
and in an office as acceptably fulfilling the requirements of:

1) Be active in your Troop and Patrol for at least x months
as a <current_rank> Scout.

2) While a <current_rank> Scout, serve actively for x months
in one or more of the following positions of responsibility:
<list_of_Troop_offices>.

Is this true? If so, why does the requirement specifically
say "serve actively" and "be active", instead of "be
registered"? Sounds like National would be guilty of not
backing up volunteers who were trying to enforce National
policy.

Does anyone have direct experience of National's actions
in such a case?
