Ouch that sounds painful.

In addition it must be very hard sometimes for a GM to distinguish a genuine offence a not. I can see they might have to deal with:

1. A scenario where the fault and issue is obvious.
2. A situation where the player reporting thinks a rule was broken but actually wasn’t - think that is what the OP is arguing here.
3. A malicious report.

I think two and three would be very hard to distinguish and it makes judgement difficult for a GM - I don’t envy them.

If I was in the OP’s situation and believed I did nothing wrong and the strike was unfair, I think I’d be robustly arguing against it too.
