In most cases, I would say a resistive uke provides less energy to work with.

Most of the time a "resistive" uke refers to doing static techniques. It's not less energy, it's less dynamic energy, more static energy. Many techniques require movement. Some things just don't work from static (or require the use of well placed atemis
and blends). So nage has to get things moving. Well, if uke is hell bent on not moving and doesn't listen to what his own body is saying, he can get hurt trying to prove he can shut you down. Most people don't have this
stoopid reaction to pain, but we know what happens when ego gets involved.
I don't think the previous post was talking about not doing correct technique or having any inclination to do harm.
