Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

Let's read the rules completely, not just the convenient part:
"Restarts are allowed at the player's discretion:
a) if the player lacks a Guardian Orb in the path leading to the central treasure;
b) if the player lacks a continuous road leading from the starting castle to the central treasure through the starting zone,
these restarts are taken on the day these facts are discovered. If subjective restarts remain, the player can choose which subjective restart to use (i.e., on map 124, they can use the remaining restart from map 111). If subjective restarts are exhausted, the player has the right to request an additional restart."
What do you think this phrase in the rules is for? Is it so that the player runs around, explores their starting area, and decides whether to play this game or restart?
