I think the original thinking was that "administrative" errors could be intentional and deceptive to try to gain some kind of advantage. Obviously, virtually all are just "honest" mistakes but there's no way to know the intent so they just assume worst case scenario.

At least that's what Dr. Naismith once told me.
