    Not hyperbole. Analogy. If you think I am comparing fines to the death penalty you have drawn the wrong conclusion. I’m comparing your reasoning to Draco’s. The exact punishment itself doesn’t actually matter.

      Well first of all you’re not comparing my reasoning at all.

      However the crime and the punishment both matter immensely. As does the entity concerned. Hence why the hyperbole is so absurd.
