A 330 BSCU RESET

Airbus sometimes becomes too confusing.

Yes, English is not my native Language, however, even Native speakers cannot comment about this clearly:

Extracted from A 330FCOM PRO-SUP-32 P 1/4 (new) or 3.04.31 P1 (old)

BSCU RESET
A reset of the BSCU is only authorized on ground for :
‐ WHEEL N/W STRG FAULT. This is to go back to the gate for troubleshooting. Taxi with care, at a taxi speed of 10 kt maximum.
‐ BRAKES RESIDUAL BRAKING.

The BSCU reset should be performed on ground, with the aircraft stopped, and the parking brake applied. Switch the A/SKID & N/W STRG selector OFF then ON. Then, check the braking efficiency of the normal braking system, as soon as the aircraft starts moving again (the aircraft must slow down when pressing the brake pedals). After resetting one of these two failures, a record in the logbook is mandatory to ensure that troubleshooting is systematically done, in order to investigate the failure before the next flight.
Scenario is simple: During Taxi Out, one of them is displayed on ECAM. BSCU is resetted, and ECAM disapppeared. What should I do next?

IMHO: In these cases, BSCU reset only gives you a chance to taxi back to the gate rather than asking the tow truck to be pulled away. Continuing to flight is not an option.

I appreciate any contribution
