Why people argue about this
People often assume that a caution is just a warning in Combat Sambo, forgetting its serious nature as it precedes disqualification (DQ), leading them to argue about how severe they believe such a minor infraction should be. The confusion arises because this rule combines the severity of a penalty with the immediate threat of ending the match right after issuing a caution.
