Your assumption is completely off, I am neither a ganker nor defend gankers. Also have no issue with them either, all part of the sandbox.
Wherever this subject was brought up it was always stated that prolonging CONCORD response time (beyond its intended value) is the exploit, while pulling CONCORD off grid just resets the natural response time as when they are on grid their response time is shorter, thus it is not an exploit.
Exploit is, just as the linked source material states, when someone “delaying CONCORD response for an extended period of time”, simply pulling CONCORD off grid will not delay their response time compared to the natural response time, on the contrary, just restores the natural value instead of the shorter time when they are already on grid.
At least that is my understanding based on my prior experience with this subject but anyone knowing better correct what I wrote.
If you want a 100% assured answer you have to file a support ticket.
