... if I post a multi-paragraph long reply on the incentives created by betting on less infant homicide, am I going to find out that you understand perfectly well what the incentives are, and that was the entire point of your comment?

The actions people have taken in accordance with sports betting incentives is everything up to and including murder. The moral ideal the parent commenter associates with sports doesn't make that okay.

If you have a point to make about how the age of the person being murdered means it's a categorical difference rather than a difference of degree I'll read it.

Just checking that you knew betting on good outcomes was how you incentivized bad ones.

Eg, to be rid of a turbulent priest, you'd place a bet that Thomas Becket will live to see the year 1171, which is a "good" outcome to bet on happening.

Glad we're both clear on which one of us missed the other's point...
