I definitely read section 8.2:

As meaning "user explicitly presses a button", however, I think we
should change this if it is indeed what it meant.

We need distinct mechanisms for both use cases and I think that explicit
acknowledgement with a button would be much better as part of a broader
"reactions" XEP (eg. displaying emoji which could also be used to show a
single ack button that gives a thumbs up or increments a count or
similar). Because of that I'd say it's better to change this to make it
allow user scrolling and make it clear that this is the intention.
