I think it's pretty obvious you are more interested in criticizing BI than anything else.
IMO....
Without subjective judgment being part of the process, a manager might find
himself permanently firing honest and hard working employees due to accidental positives that were in no way intended to manipulate race results etc...
Similarly, one would never be able to use the services of a highly competent horseman if he ever made a mistake in his life, even if it was obvious he was a changed individual now.
The goal is to eliminate cheating, not to criticize and hold people that are on our side on this issue to their literal words of "zero tolerance" when they seem to be using sensible judgment on a case by case basis. Most people would understand to begin with that judgment was probably going to be part of the process.
