What logic is this?

Dear professor

It has just been successfully uploaded but it was 3-minutes late. May I know if there will still be any penalty even if there are some technical issues encountered?

Sorry again and thanks for your help.

Regards Student

My reply: Dear student The penalty of late submission will be applied.

It was unfortunate to have technical issues, however you should not have tried to submit your assignment in the last minute.

The link has been open for more than 5 days and you should have plenty of time to submit.

Edit: 3 minutes late is not the problem here. The problem is "rules don't apply on me" mindset.
