Re: Fouls that "Didn't Affect the Outcome of the Match"

Not that everyone agrees with the value of the penalty points (see: Spanking the Children), but the reason they exist to get rid of the situation where "taking a foul" is advantageous. If offering different foul point values at different times in the match, it could create a situation of intentionally taking a foul for net gain.
