Understood. But if that's the objective, there are more efficient ways to accomplish it, like redistributing some of the purse from the offender to the offended. Under the US rule, most of the benefit goes to horses who were unaffected by the foul.
Either way is fine with me, as long as the rules are clear and enforced with some consistency. The US rule has probably helped me more often than it has hurt me.
