Again, this decision completely contradicts last week decision about exclusion of Lindholm from the Rally Liepaja and about hundreds of other cases.

It's irrelevant how much a value cross the tolerance. The tolerance is set exactly to avoid any discussion about the size of infringement and about any competitive advantage.
It would have been justified, yes. But it would have been a silly situation nonetheless - a very small mistake by the team and major consequences.
I would say that since no real advantage was gained, a fine is reasonable punishment.
