This is an interesting ask, but I’m not sure what the left-hand tail would be, either.  Either way, I tend to believe that our ability to self-control is somewhat limited and thus consequences should also be limited, usually.  

Sometimes the consequences need to be more severe because of incentives and the structure of society.  It isn’t really something to be celebrated, just something we have to put up with.

At some point it doesn’t matter if Godzilla can’t help himself.  He must be removed from Tokyo.
