No argument there, either ...
It seems odd to me that morality floats on a timescale. I don't know if the penalties have changed over the last ... 20 years say ... they probably have. But a beating is still a beating. A bullet is still a bullet.
I'd be hard-pressed to figure out a way to make child abuse today any more egregious than child abuse in the past. Using the "acceptability" threshold to justify past crimes seems ... strange. Probably just well beyond my ken ...
