If its not rest, then it breaks up the lookback. That's why if you don't check your schedule during your 24 hour FAR rest, as soon as that rest is over, that is a break in your rest. If you have a report 5 hours later that's fine, but the break in your rest triggers the lookback and is therefore functionally the same as duty. They can't have it both ways. They just can't.
