Do you have a better example where personal responsibility was officialy upheld?

[lotsofmangos]

A story about a two year old learning about agency would be a better example, there are millions of better examples for this context.

The most extreme example of a thing you can find is not usually the ideal example to use for most contexts. Rather than clarifying things, if it dwarfs the context, it then appears automatically ridiculous even if the basic argument is sound.

This is not an example for official upholding of personal responsibility.

This is hand-waving. I used the Nuremberg trials specifically to not hand-wave.

"This is hand-waving. I used the Nuremberg trials specifically to not hand-wave."

Now that is funny, though I suspect unintentionally, and in horrifically bad taste either way.

[madez]

I think here is some kind of misunderstanding.

I did not intend to be funny nor do I see why it was bad taste.

My question for a better example was genuine.

Presumably lotsofmangos is making a reference to the Nazi salute.

[madez]

Ah, I see. Well, it wasn't meant like this.

It was meant as a pejorative label for him stating

    there are millions of better examples for this context

without providing one valid example.

[lotsofmangos]

It was admittedly the first thing that came to mind from a sentence about Nuremberg and handwaving.
