When encountering a zero-sum split transaction that also zero in the "T"
line, probably the most appropriate thing to ask the user would be:
"Hey moron, why on Earth would you enter a transaction in account X's
register when that account isn't even involved?"

Possible answers:
(a) The devil made me do it.
(b) Intuit forced me to do it as a workaround (same as (a) above)
(c) You're right, I'm a moron.
