Rules are rules, and they must be followed down to the smallest formalities. In sk1, in the Korean Pro League, there were cases where players, for example, incorrectly took a pause by missing just 1 letter, and immediately received tech losses for it.
If one were to start dividing violations into those that could affect the outcome of a match and those that could not, that would create a lot of unnecessary hassle for the judges and temptation for players to break the rules. There are rules that must be followed—breaking the rules results in a tech loss; it is clear-cut, and that is correct. If the aggrieved player considers this punishment inappropriate or wishes to turn a blind eye to such a trifle, they have every right to do so. If, however, they take the tech win, then I think no one has the right to condemn them.
