It could be a local error (with the local hardware), or with the
remote partner not accepting the reset. We only know that an error
occurred.

The operational word is "normal". Error recovery is expected to handle
situations which are not normal.

I don't question the need to reset the counter. The only question
is where and when to reset it.
