I can see how you got that, but it's not at all how I read it. I don't think whataretensors is proposing that Hans Resier's abilities should lessen his punishment, but rather that we should allow him to continue using his abilities during his incarceration, and possibly contribute to society instead of being dead weight.

>I thought the point was that we should look at IQ in determining punishment and risk of recidivism

That was not my point. My point was the system does not differentiate among people.
