And that's the point. It happened to me once too; and I won't forget again (I hope).
One problem is, if they were lenient about it, IDs would be forgotten way more often, making accurate judgment calls way more difficult, making turning away the questionably IDless way more difficult and confrontational, making gaming the system-- if not non-Villagers access to free golf-- way easier!
For example...

Sometimes it is frustrating when we know we are honest, we feel like we have good proof and we are inconvenienced when we believe "common sense" should have prevail. However, taking a longer term view and considering the longer-term potential pitfalls, maybe common sense did prevail. It looks something like this:
We Goofed leads to
Consequence leads to
Lesson Learned leads to
More careful next time, resulting in better and more consistent enforcement and fairness for all. Not bad. Sometimes I wish real common sense would prevail more often.
