The current rationale is that an AP throw-in ends when the ball is touched inbounds or the throwing team violates. Since the arrow is reversed when the throw-in ends, we have a change for a violation.

Nope, the current rationale is that you don't penalize a team twice if it commits a foul or violation. Each act carries it's own separate penalty. Adding an AP loss is double jeopardy.
Thinking otherwise is silly, thilly. Really.

But it is double jeopardy if they penalize a violation by both taking away the ball and the arrow, isn't it? I know that's not the logic that's being used, but I think either way could be rational. They just happened to settle on the one that's there.
