Worse, it's a mechanism where miners can vote to penalize other miners
for any reason at all. Nothing in the mechanism requires any proof that
a double-spend happened, nor can it. Even if you require the simple
"two signatures for same output" mechanism, that just proves the
existance of a second signature, and says nothing at all about whether
or not that signature was ever broadcast on any network.
