That's an assumption, one which might hold true in some instances, but not necessarily in all, or even a majority of all instances.

And, to conclude that the default response from any SE is to deem any and all "suspicious" IBLs as being the product of an active effort to acquire such, and therefore subject all to a like "penalty," is likewise an assumption.

Finally, there remains the issue of the form of the "penalty," as previously addressed by several; i.e., "zero value" vs "negative value."
