Yeah, it could theoretically be
disadvantageous in the rare circumstance where it shows up, but that doesn't mean it's a
disadvantage worth points. In the case of something that won't show up except once every 6 months or once per year it's just below the level where it's worth points. In rule design you have to set a cutoff level, because if every 6 months is worth points what about every 2 years? Every 5 years? What if it requires a major and inconvenient overhaul every 50 years? There has to be a cutoff point
somewhere, and one month is as good a cutoff as any.
