Question Blanket Alliance Penaltys

I have been wondering about this since i pushed forward the scouting program for Spyder. When they assign penalty's they don't specify which team received which penalty. From a professional standpoint, this information could be invaluable for scouting i can factor it in to the pivot tables for the overall score instead of being forced to average there penalty's from how many times there said alliance has received them which is somewhat inaccurate and can be bad for unlucky Qualifying round teams "Team 330s first qualifier at the san diego regional had 40points in penalty's bringing the score to 6-10 from 46-10." Now from a Gracious Standpoint i have heard teams argue that it wouldn't be fair to single out teams for having lots of penalty's but honestly then their errors can be identified and fixed. So on a graciously professional standpoint, i think that they should announce which team received the penalty's instead of which alliance because it seems to me its better for everyone.
