I believe the idea is that Armour Divisors don't interact with ablation at all, only damage penetration. As ablation is related to damage dealt, they don't need to.
Hence, the effects of Penetrating only matter once the DR is low enough that his damage can get through it, once it's halved (on average, once the DR's dropped to less than 58), then it can start hurting HP.
