Yes, I would agree that "Immediate, mandatory replacement" doesn't leave much room for hesitation.

I thought that all climbing ropes were tested to at least 5 FF1.87 falls in order to receive UIAA certification?

Edited to add what i missed the first time:
But I guess that outside a controlled lab environment with your a$s instead of a crashtestdummy on the end of the rope, it's better to err on the safe side.
