This is a bit like being concerned about lower then 100% ATM withdrawal
completion percentages when the KPI includes attempts where an invalid pin
is used and where users canceled the transaction, perhaps because of the $3
fee or perhaps because of some other reason.

Unless we can absolutely tell which Abandoned or Rejected requests are in
bad faith (and I don't know that we can), I don't see how these statistics
are at all useful. Instead, I suggest we stop focusing on the completion
rates.

This doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for a better process. Most are
agreed we could make this better. The line that must be waked is to prevent
and discourage bad actors while making it easier for good actors.
