Your analogy is not relevant to the discussion, Steve. Your example
addresses the violation of rules (which we'd all agree ought to be
penalized).
Poor copying or logging skills (busted calls, transposed serials, etc) are
not rules infractions.
These are not rewarded by points, just as a missed field goal is not
rewarded by points. But I never saw an additional 3 points (or 6 or 9
points) removed for a missed FG.
