I interpreted it a little different.
However I think this is basically a broken game mechanic. And while it might work to cover other broken game mechanics it's not a good way to do things.

So I'd rather fix it and not balance the game around it.
But of course that doesn't mean it's as horrific as I imagine it, that will be seen in the game then.
But even then, not something you can't patch even after release. Though the whole balancing needs to be redone then.
