Probably more along the lines of "we can't afford to lose this revenue, especially due to technicalities over the issuance of an otherwise-legitimate ticket".

Our legal system and bureaucracies are built on technicalities. Do you think they wouldn't use a technicality to nail you to the wall for something? I've got little sympathy for an entity getting upset at it's own rules being used against it.

Just like a speeding ticket, even if the cop wrote your name wrong, it doesn't mean that you are going to get away with it.
