A bigger problem is when all the pitstops are done and the 5 seconds is added to the race time so what you see isn't what you get.

I agree, penalties shouldn't be subject to strategy. Therefore if the penalty has impinged on the teams strategy, or significantly disadvantaged the team, then I think it has done its job. That's why I like the idea of tacking another 5 seconds onto a scheduled tyre stop.
