Understanding Medals/Renown/Badges in basic.cfg

Okay, I am working on revamping my settings for all of this before I start playing again, and I have a question.

I would like to award myself the u-boat badge at the appropriate time by editing the appropriate file for my kaleun rather than letting the game give it to me, which it always does before I've ever earned it according to historical standards.

So I'm thinking of setting the 'SCORE' required for it in PLAYER_RENOWN to something ridiculous, like 99999, to avoid having the game give it out too early for my liking.

What I'm wondering is, in the unlikely event that I ever reach a score of 99999, and my player data files show I already have the badge, will that mess things up somehow (with the game trying to give me something I've already got)?

Or does awarding a medal/badge by manually editing the relevant player file completely override any possibility of the game wanting to award it again when the 'score' has been reached at some future point in the career?
