There is no contradiction. Contributions are necessary, but they still
don't count when it comes to T&S verification. Unless one gets an AM who
is willing to count them, of course, but I don't know how many are
willing.
This is something else for applicants to keep in mind: AMs vary a lot in
what they demand of applicants.
