MS Milking or not?

#1
I have seen three different post by PLAYERS who say that an imbalance of MS is Milking/Pulling. It does not, however, say that explicity anywhere in the rules. So would it be possible to get a definitive declaration about this preferably from Zorg himself or at least from a Mod?

If you are sending the ms and it is your fleet getting destroyed and they are doing the recycling it could be considered as milking/pulling. If you are the one sending the ms and their fleet is getting destroyed and you are recycling it, this may be considered as milking/pulling.

To clarify it better.... If you crash your own fleet into their planet and only YOUR fleet makes up the debris field. You can recycle it yourself and it is not considered milking/pulling. If you are sending ships to crash their fleet (none of yours gets destroyed) and they recycle it, then it is not milking/pulling. If you are recycling only your crashed fleet, or they are recycling only their crashed fleet, it is not milking/pulling.

Being realistic, it is not sending resources, so I would say go ahead. Really, what is anyone going to do? Zookon fed his entire fleet away once, Rukai did the same. If they were going to get someone in trouble for having ships die on somone's doorstep intentionally then those times would have been the case and not a few little moonshots.
