Commissaires are able to use discretion, rather than having to stick to the letter, and do so, for example, when riders are outside the time limit. It's inconceivable that they would have docked Aru two minutes. Whether that is fair or not I am not sure, but penalising Porte, and then saying they have no choice, makes them look ridiculous.
