The guideline that result in average DT is not allowed is

[quote="14. Positive Challenge Criteria Not Acceptable"]
Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some particular type for over time, as 100 consecutive Mystery finds.

A average DT challenge will punish you for finding a cache with a low DT.

It is easy to show that the challenge punish you for low DT finds.
For example if you have only one find with DT 2/2 you have a average of the same and the product is 4 so you need a high DT find. A 2/3 find would make your avreagera 2/2.5 and you will meet the requirement,
But you walks by a 1/1 on the way to the 2/3 cache. If you would also log it you avrage would be 1.666/2 with a product of 3.33333 and you will not meet the requirements.
That show that you are punished for the 1/1 log and therefor it is against the guideline
