The whole point is that it needs to be sufficiently broad to allow CCP to take whatever action it feels necessary to safeguard the game, and not have its hands tied because someone has found a particular angle that is "technically" within the EULA but in practice is highly abusive.
If you are worried that your actions might be deemed cheating, unfair, exploits, gamebreaking, or otherwise circumventing a deliberately designed game limitation, then don't do them.
If you are not so worried, chill out. You aren't going to be banned for a technical breach.
Getting hung up on what does or does not technically break a EULA is completely missing the point.
Do you use Evemon?
If so, are you planning on stopping now because there's a question as to if it may be considered "cheating, unfair, exploits, gamebreaking, or otherwise circumventing a deliberately designed game limitation"?
Because that's how I read this. |

Really, I see a couple options here.
1. Implement Apple-level app authorization on CCP's end. "This app is allowed" "This app is not allowed" CCP of course has a wonderful track record of doing things in a timely manner and this will work out well! 
2. CCP needs to be specific on cache scraping. "Allowed" or "Not Allowed"
I get that cache scraping can be used by bots, but those bots require other things as well that DO EXPLICITLY VIOLATE THE EULA. Cache scraping alone is only for data population. |

The reason some of these programs cache scrape is because CCP doesn't have the resources to put into properly fixing and updating their API in a timely manner. |

There has also been a lot of talk lately concerning various third party applications, and we intended to clarify our stance on some of those issues with the policy document.
I'm pretty sure you failed miserably at your attempt to clarify anything.
It seems most of us are getting "Hey guys, this is against the EULA but if you're using a popular program that already does it we probably won't ban you. probably. maybe."
