First of all I often hear "penalize where it hurts the most," with no mention that it applies only for the offense.
Also "penalize the offense where is hurts the most," does not include something to the effect of "in most cases" or "usually," and a newer official might assume it means always.
I agree that it is probably not a big deal, but I do not think it is that tough to learn about basic spots, the all-but-one principle, etc.
