>They aren't advocating fining for ethical violations,
Your statement is a contradiction of GP's statement. Preferring the side with better 'ethical claim' is in effect a redistribution in the form of discount to the more 'ethical' with a fine to the less 'ethical'.
- bumby 4y agoAgain, you are conflating the two points. 1) Fines are appraised for damages 2) When there are competing claims, one should favor the side with a stronger ethical foundation These are not equivalent. Just because #1 is true does not mean fines are appraised for ethics violations. They also don't have to be mutually exclusive. Not sure if you're trying to misdirect or just misunderstanding the distinction.
