As a general principle, that's pretty good. But in case of an accepted penalty, nobody's disadvantaged by the IW, which by your principle explains why we go with the penalty (so far so good!).
But if we treat first touching as akin to a penalty, that would still permit us to negate the IW, and for the same reason, right?
