Alright: if Princen or Cronin would leave leave their time cards at time control, and arrive to the next one without them (which is what normally would happen if you forget your time card), they would be excluded. I wouldn't be surprised if some stewards in some rallies wouldn't even accept a time card taxi drive as Tanak did, and exclude the driver who forgot his time card anyway.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was silly mistake by Ingrassia reading his notes for 100 time and not paying attention to this simple thing, He admitted it himself. If some stewards refuse to give it to someone else, it's their right, no one will blame them, it's only human will. There is no such rule regulated either.

The Sardegna time card case shows us the exact reason Stewards are at events. Yes, there are regulations, but they can't cover all situations, moreover sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. So, at one event the Stewards may decide on exclusion for this (as outside assistance) at another they may apply a different penalty. What the Stewards couldn't do was say, 'ah it was a simple mistake, no advantage received, we'll let the team off with a warning'. Imagine how the other WRC teams would react! So, IMHO the Stewards made the best 'political' decision. They handed down a quite severe penalty, but suspended its application unless the team misbehaved again.
