This is topsy turvy?

Topsy turvy to me because the penalty for a violation is greater than that of a foul. My mind suggests to me that the result of a foul should be more punitive than that of a violation. That seeming inequity is how I try to remember the proper application of the rule.

Perhaps in my mind only--sometimes a very topsy turvy place into which to delve. Then again, there are a lot of things in my mind that don't make sense. This only scratches the surface.
