Can't blank BD-RE disc?

Does the following make any sense at all?

$ dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/sr1
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[email protected]>, version 7.1.
* 24.8GB BD media detected.
* blanking .:-[ FORMAT UNIT failed with SK=5h/INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST]: Input/output error

$ dvd+rw-format  /dev/sr1
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[email protected]>, version 7.1.
* 24.8GB BD media detected.
- media is not blank
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
  -format=full  to perform (lengthy) Full Certification;
  -ssa[=none|default|max|XXX[GM]]
                to eliminate or adjust Spare Area.
