(LSJ) "Cancel" without the "no cost is payed" cards



Hello,
I was reading the Target cards when it struck me that they had the
"cancel [a] card" without the "(no cost is payed)" usual text.
I ran some searches, and found that other cards did not have this
explicit "no cost is payed" text.
Here is a list of the cards I could find, classified in various groups
(mainly, having / not having the "no cost is payed" text).

- Cards that have "cancel [a] card" and "no cost is payed"
Approximation of Loyalty
Bleeding the Vine
Charismatic Aura
Contingency Planning
Dark Influences (twice, the second being shortened to "(no cost)" for
space reasons, I guess)
Denial of Aphrodite's Favor
Determine
Direct Intervention
Disengage
Fae Contortion
False Resonance
Hall of Hades' Court
Hide the Mind
Iron Heart
Jones, The
Not to Be
Personnal Involvement
Rewind Time (TEM)
Scry the Hearthstone
Soul Decoration
Shape Mastery (inf'; I guess sup' keeps the "(no cost is payed)" with
the "as above" text)
Soul Decoration
Sudden Reversal
Terra Incognita
Touch of Clarity
Tranquility
Wash
Khalu
Lucita adv

- Cards that have the "cancel [a] card" and the "cost is payed"
Botched Move

Now, the first and last lists are very explicit about how the cost is
handled, but the second isn't. If my guess is correct, all answers to
text inside parentheses should be "Yes" (or "Correct"). But I have
some concerns - some of the mentionned cards don't have enough space
left for a "(no cost is payed)" text to be added. (for example, even
Dark Influences' second occurrence of that pattern has been reduced to
"(no cost)" )

So, the question now is: are some of the cards of the second list
handled in another way than what I have written?
Some cards of the first list and of the second list "oppositely"
match :
- Fae Contortion has a reflex effect using the "no cost is paid" text,
whereas Predator's Communion's (this one has a small overall amount of
text) reflex effect does not mention "no cost is paid". (both cards
are from the LoB set)
- Not to Be (KMW) and Emergency Preparations (Gehenna) have different
texts, but for the same effect.

It has already been ruled numerous times that cards without the "no
cost is paid" mention will have the cancelled card paid (Delaying
Tactics + PTO is a common old example) - has that changed ?

Thanks !
