You were not clear. But now that you have been, how is this anything other than empty? Who would disagree other than some fictional absolutist?

Like the OP who claims that all punishment is problematic?

>how is this anything other than empty?

As you so astutely observed, I have nothing of substance to add to that part of the discussion.

Where I do have something of substance to add is with respect to an oft-repeated factual error about brain development, and a broader misconception about the problems involved in punitive measurements.

For someone worried about pedantry, you sure seem to be splitting hairs.

Try reading the OP again and you will find no claim that all punishment is problematic.
