The point of honor system isn't to put swift immediate justice on every infraction. It is to eliminate dishonest players from the long game.
If you are dishonest it usually is your modus operandi. You are not dishonest just once. When you get away with something once it becomes easier the next time.
But, as we say in Poland, lies have short legs. If you lie long enough you are bound to be caught one way or another.
The honor system means that once you get caught the punishment will be disproportionately painful, to make it impractical to be dishonest in the long run and to deter others from doing the same.
