In punitive actions, intent to escalate incidents is a higher tier punishment, as the entire purpose of punishment is the prevention of future incidents. Thus if a user knowingly baits other users into creating incidents it is important to punish them too if they knew their innocuous actions would lead to an incident, because not doing so leads them to repeat the behavior, leading to more incidents that could otherwise have been avoided.

We have a tiered punishment system of short bans leading to permanent, so this information could lead to increasing the ban or erring on the side of saying "this user intended x, and x happened, so instead of letting them off with a warning, they get a temp ban to think on how their actions affected the wiki".
