I do think the human brain is flawed in some ways. The human brain isn't perfect, even though we like to think so.
The human brain has flaws that can't be controlled by its owner. We like to think that we're always in control of ourselves, but most of our actions are actually not pre-meditated. We are not ruled by logic as much as we think we are, instinct and emotions are way more powerful forces of actions in daily life. Many of us don't like to acknowledge it, but we're still animals.
The vast majority of murders are, despite what the mass media wants you to think, not premeditated. Most of them are committed either by accident or by rage. Rage is determined by genetics and upbringing.
Premeditated murders are considered "worse" than rage-induced murders, but then we're back at the issue - when you can commit premeditated murders something is wrong outside of your control.
Our legal system is created under the assumption that we're Vulcans, but we're not. Logic is (unfortunately?) not as important to how we act like we think.
