And the weaker-willed referees at the lower levels. But I make it clear to players I've cautioned that they are on very thin ice, unless the caution was for dissent. In which case, I just expect them to shut up.

But that's a IFAB/FIFA guidance issue along implementation, not the laws themselves. Law 12 doesn't account for what you're referring to.

Actually, I think law 12 does in a way

That's the point of a caution for persistent infringement, right? You break the rules multiple times, you get a caution. At that point you are already persistent, so additional transgressions would be even more persistent.

Sure, that's what PI is for

But there's no 'additionally persistent', and, generally, you'll never see a second yellow for PI because the player had already checked their behavior because of the original caution.
