In other words, the USGA made a 'judgment call' in not invoking 1-2...which they very well could/should have.

It isn't nearly as cut & dried...as you're trying to make it.
What's your point? The USGA, who writes and interprets the rules and their committee that understands the rules better than anyone on the planet decided that it wasn't a serious breach.

I supposed they could have invoked disqualification but I would defer to people who are much more knowledgeable about the rules than I am before I would say, "should have".
