Disproportionate
Jeff,
I thoug=t you may be interested in this recent nature publication of ours, or our c=rresponding write up in the nytimes:

nytopinion&smtyp=curtr=0
The basic idea is that moral outrage is often, subconsciously at least, m=tivated by trying to signal ones own values. And
this motivation won't be s=nsitive to whether the transgression was intended or whether punishment is p=oportionate
or good for the cause.
Happy to d=scuss next time we meet, if you are interested.
