>>What about people that are unable "to learn from their block".. or, to put it another way, being serially blocked?
Its because when punishment far exceeds what the offence deserves, the subject won't learn anything, they will forget why it happened and associate it with other things and they will feel angry.
If the punishment is too harsh, it usually will never prevent anything, sometimes teach ways around it and others ways of offending until that becomes an offence. Severity/harshness of punishemnt has a positive relationship with repeat offending (off the baords, and probably on too)
