Yea, I know. I saw that in another thread. But I think I only saw this guy having a successful case. In that thread, they say that if you say the truth (you're doing to to boost points) in the Letter of Explanation then you may get away with it. On the other hand, I have not seen any unsuccessful one either, but that could be because no one comes back to the threads to tell the outcome.
For now, I will hold my ITA and see how next draws will look like. There may be a case where scores drop so much that I may be able to include my spouse.
We'll see..
