I have never liked it much either, but that is why I believe that the Fed has limited the number of times you will get these with the first to violate provision. Perhaps a fairer way you could treat a double violation is to invalidate the FT like an offsetting penalty in football. Make it as though it never happened.
But the "unequal" penalty of the double violation is all the more reason to hold your whistle and call it only if necessary.
