In your above point, why is saying "no" superior to saying "yes"? In a gyani, what is it that is saying / deciding "yes" or "no"? I have found the Angora trilogy by Robert Svoboda quite fascinating regarding his teachers experience with karma. Have you read it? The resolution (or reseeding) of past sexual encounters is so prominent that this type of karma even has its own name. What are your views on karma: Do you hold that karma does not exist? If so, do you have an alternative model of action? Do you think "liberation" has anything to do with deactivating seeds of karma? Do you think a liberated one has absolutely no karma returning to them in this life / body? If you believe there is some returning karma (Prarabdha karma) even for a liberated one, to what degree do you believe it shapes their lives? What happens to them when this karma is burned up? When people talk of their experiences of "no-doer", what is the role of karma in that state? Or have you never thought about such things and are generally oblivious to action and its results?
