It might make sense from the standpoint of simplifying the rule, but that's not the paramount consideration. In fact, the BI rule as written is the simplest rule that takes into account all of these principles (in order of importance):

1. Penalize the player who committed the infraction, unless
2. Doing so confers an unfair advantage, in which case
3. Penalize the appropriate player to neutralize the advantage.
