It's like the enormous sign hanging in the grocery store I used to work at telling the check cashing policy. It was there for when you needed it. 99% of the time, it was completely ignored. 99% of the time, the game is best served by ignoring the multiple foul. But that 1% (or 0.1% or 0.01%) of the time when you need the rule, it's there.
