Have I got that right or am I missing something?
Sounds about right. Or wrong.

To your other point about three SC packs potentially splitting up an on track battle, it can also create an on track battle by wiping out the lead of a car that was some way ahead of a rival that ends up in the same pack.

As usual with these things, the more they insist it's about fairness etc, the more they manipulate the race, and so the more artificial it becomes.
