With Alonso and Ocon in F1 receiving large and cumulative time penalties [edit Alsonso’s was later overturned] relating to almost indiscernible digressions even with the HD TV close ups is there time for a rule to be made (in engineering terms) for reasonable tolerance in tiny indiscretions that video evidence can highlight unreasonably?

This should not used for hyping up artificial situations or allowing cheating, but in the case of milliseconds or millimetres, cumulative penalties could be seem to be possibly disproportionate and throw up computer-like unintuitive and unfair to real-life errors.

A wing’s flexibility is measurable numerically, I am interested in the margins of human ‘error’ not being penalised if imperceptible apart from studying a video many times.

Impossible to tell whether you're talking about positioning the car within the grid box or the later pit box transgressions? Or all?
Both those examples, to try to be more specific for example any human error that would not be perceptible by the naked eye.
