No. This may be a rule that was put in "to prevent abuse" but didn't get a ton of playtest in real games. I've seen rules go both ways: playtesting them reveals that they didn't seem like a problem, but were, and playtesting reveals that it was much ado about nothing. Or as Peter would say, "Has That Problem Come Up in Actual Play?"

Is there room for variation among Stop Hits to represent how aggressive you are being? Perhaps taking a penalty to defend to give the opponent a penalty to defend?
I cover a bunch of possibilities here.
