Though I recognize the parallelisms between this consequence and some conceivable real-world cases, the penalty for seemingly insignificant arithmetical errors (and mistypes) in less elementary subjects is much stronger than it would be in the classroom.

Based on a criteria similar to that used when awarding "Going Transonic," could there be a lesser penalty for failure when dealing with more time-consuming exercises like this?
