Ahhh...Timmy, I can always rely on you to catch my meaning
Eliseus, Question? Would you allow your child to learn by experience that pouring a pan of boiling water over their head is "bad". Would you allow them to learn the danger of fire, by burning down the house and killing the rest of their family? Would you teach them to avoid strangers by allowing them to be kidnapped by some psychopath?
