I'm not going to defend google on their practices, I also think it's too harsh, but they probably just don't separate accidental offenders with full-time scammers (just like with panda algo, etc.). Luckily for us all, adsense is not the only context ad program, if you have a valuable traffic channel you have the option to move on to competition - it's their loss too.
