Actually Brawn carried a totally different example, which has nothing in common with Alonso's (the case of the Spaniard was only a startpoint), relates to a driver/team who places well in quals, but decides to get 5 rows back in order to exploit a race-fitted engine who overcompensates the loss on the starting grid.
The main problem is, the more rules you set, the more loopholes you find for opportunism.
