It says in the AIV header that warnings must be recent bolded IP was last warned 20 days ago sorry I know I put 11 I miscounted 20 days isn t recent so yes in theory your logic statement is correct IPs are used by several different people so it would be unfair to penalise them all Besides this wasn t even blatant vandalism if vandalism at all Maybe an errant test edit but anyway enough to merit a level 1 warning in any case If you look through the archives at WPT AIV you may find a thread on what recent means there have been several in the past B hotep talk
