This is the sort of thing that could lead to an appeal at a minimum, up to everyone's new favorite buzzword, arbitration.

Please help me understand this a bit more in case I find myself on a PC for such a thing...

Hi Mike -

In anticipation of this very issue, the RO and PC worked together in preparing the SIs to say that the penalty might be something less than DSQ.
