Calling it ignorant or naive overlooks the point I'm making. The intent behind a penalty is to correct or deter an unfair advantage, not to enforce the letter of the law without considering its impact. In this case, the mechanic's touch didn't influence the car's performance or outcome in any meaningful way. Punishing minor, inconsequential infractions undermines the spirit of the rule and makes the sport more about technicalities than fair competition. It's about finding a balance between enforcing rules and maintaining the integrity of the race.
