It means that all banks will be distressed, thus destabilizing the whole system. Regulatory change plays here a role of an artificial shock (since banks have to increase their reserves), which gets smoothed by the QE. I guess an alternative could've been a gradual raise of the legal requirements, but probably such measure was too slow for the crisis conditions.
