You are completely ignoring the fact that when the person can prove that they made a simple mistake, their punishment is typically forgiven. Also, people usually get warnings for simple mistakes. If they choose to ignore those and continue to make the same mistakes, can they still claim innocence?

Oh they have done something like this in the past when they were getting bad AR scans from some players - just turned off their ability to do scans. That is an interesting idea.
