1) Because you don’t know who the offenders are until you show their content to a moderator.

2) Because zero-tolerance tends to result in over-blocking, and they already have a problem with banning content that shouldn’t be banned.

I think Facebook knows enough about its users to precisely identify the accounts that are likely to be offenders.

Perhaps, but to the extent that it does that’s a combination of moderation and machine learning — exactly what post several layers above was saying is insufficient.
