Key Violation G17

Just read the Q102 answer: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/102

It prompted my follow-up question: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/155

Is this a potential fuel shot killer? Five seconds in the key may stop a proficient shooter from making 25 fuel = 8.33kPa & 8MP, and only cost them a 5MP foul.

BUT, G17 says there is an additional foul for an additional 5 second violation. So a defender can spend 9.99s in the key, prevent 50 fuel (16.66kPa/16MP) and only give up 5MP?

Seems like someone didn't think that penalty through.

PLEASE, let me know if I'm being an idiot here. I hope I am.
