As I said in my reply to her, she was confused by the way in which you defended photo-badge policy as implying that you'd organized it. I can see how she'd get that idea, although it happens to be wrong in this case.

I'm pretty sure I understand your justification of such a policy. If I was forced to do so, I could even construct a justification for it myself. I just strongly disagree with it for several reasons, on both principle and practical grounds.
