“Punishment for failing to learn a lesson has several intensities and purposes. It can be done as an example. Adam and Eve received no chance to learn from their mistake. The learning opportunity was for others. It is not by chance that such strong, pre-emptive discipline occurs near the start of the Bible, and many masters have adopted the same strategy of beginning as fearsomely as possible. Men with military training had already used this technique in the armed forces. As late as the 1970s, Bond began the year with a thunderous entry to the classroom.
