As soon as the lead rider of the pack catches a trailing rider (effectively lapping the trailing rider), that trailing rider is -20pts BUT he is now back in the pack AND can fight for the sprint points.

I'm not C, and I respect your opinions a lot... but his question wasn't about a points race.
Agreed, in a points race that's a very different situation, but lapped riders, in a scratch, as the pack is finishing need to not be there.
Points races, yep - keep your head in the game and keep racing... IMO, at the last lap of a scratch race... have some respect.
