Solid argument, but it's funny to call it "pg's reason" when it has been at the forefront of the capital punishment debate for literally hundreds of years.
I mean I call plenty of things "so-and-so's reason" for something, even if they're not the originator of the idea but just the person I and whomever I'm talking with happen to know about it from.
This seems like a silly linguistic nitpick to die on.
