That's an excellent example; it shows that no credit system can satisfy all goals simultaneously. Any given system will violate some goals - the challenge is to balance the levels of violation based on the importance of the goals.
Currently this is mostly fuzzy and subjective; there's no official list of goals, and in most cases no tools for measuring the level of violation. But the potential exists to make it more clear and objective. This would make a good CS master's thesis topic.
