There is no caselaw on the GDPR and no way to predict how fines will be levied. You can speculate how it will be enforced (as you have), but businesses tend to avoid speculation when assessing risk.

Since the GDPR will be enforced in the UK by ICO, there's very little speculation in the parent post.

The parent post is entirely speculation. It is speculation about how a new law will be enforced. It’s not even very robust speculation since after March 2019, the GDPR will not be enforced by any organisation in the UK.
