Kamiel,

        Yes these statements are not conflicting. When you apply the
shaping/rate-limit, Bc and Be are full. This is because nothing has been
sent (i.e. Bc has not been consistently used). Therefore your allotment is
full. From that point on if Bc is consistently used it may be permissible
that there is never a case to burst in excess.
