The problem is there is a quantitative to compare the punishments for each crime. As such we cannot just throw our hands up and say they are incomparable, we have to compare them to the best of our ability.

why exactly do we have to compare them?

The relevant question is does the punishment fit the crime.

How the punishment stacks up against other crimes and punishments doesn't matter.
