It may stun you Charley, but I actually agree with you.

Those of us who have been campaigning to have the AHFS completely overhauled have been saying for years that any car triggering an instant HP hit, at any time, under any circumstances, should be subjected to a national record level tear down. If it is Sunday night, and the car makes it to the final round, so be it. The car still comes apart for a full tear down, just as if it were a record attempt, before it ever leaves the event premises. If it doesn't happen, the factor is not changed, and the car, owner, and driver get a year off.

Even if they never overhaul the AHFS, there's no excuse for their system not automatically flagging any and all 1.2 under runs, and having tech make sure the car at least goes across the scales and through fuel check, even on a loss.
