I see your thinking there, and I won't tell you it's a wrong way to think or anything. Honestly, I put any sort of violence in the same category, ignoring the damage ratings (perhaps knives would have been a better one since that's a more common crime...), so I just differ here. No need to dwell on it. Let's just agree to disagree on that one point.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
