You misunderstand the purpose of the system.

It is not meant to punish us, the players.  It is meant to simulate  
the actual muttering and loss of good name/honour that would follow a  
particularly egregious pronouncement from a noble.  It is hoped that  
this will tend to push the players more toward correct speech, but  
that's just a side bonus, I think.
