Okay. Yes, “the aspects should be the same” is what I thought you meant when you were talking about preventing contradictory aspects, which didn’t seem like something that needed preventing to me, hence the examples. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Thanks for the Skybox counter-examples of the “no aspect marker on verb taking SAO” rule. I’m constantly saying things like {(qaS vay') 'e' vIHar'pu'} to mean that I *had* believed that whatever the {(qaS vay')} placeholder represents was true, but that believing is completed after some new information caused me to no longer believe it. Then I remember that I’m not allowed to say {'e' vIHarpu'}. Of course, those counter-examples aren’t license to violate the rule given in TKD, but at least I won’t feel quite so bad about the occasional inevitable slip-ups when I say I {vIHarpu'} some sentence.
