Are Thought Experiments Only for Scientists? - Part 3

If you haven't read Part 1 and Part 2, then you will definitely wrap your brains around for the remainder of the post.

Please do read Part 1 here & Part 2 here before you find and feel everything is topsy-turvy.

If you say C and the Principal should be given stringent punitive measures for disgracing, disrespecting, dishonouring and inflicting deep ignominy on B&B's family, then you are absolutely wrong.

IMHO, C and the Principal were doing their rightful duty in finding out the truth from B. Thus, no steps should be taken against any of them.

The real culprit in my Thought Experiment is D.

It's because of her stupidity and idiocy in her bias thereby lacking the practical wisdom that every person is different in their own respect. If B is of forgiving nature, B may say water under the bridge for D's utter ignorance. 

Again, in my IMHO, no concrete reason can forgive D for persuading and convincing the rest of the class that B is the thief as she used her class topper and influencer tag with the support of her friends. That's absolutely deliberate misuse of her position and standing in the class.

Hence, D&her friends must be given the strictest, highest and maximum punishment not only for causing extreme humiliation and embarrassment to B&B's family but also for wasting the precious time, energy and effort of C and Principal when they could have utilized it for better productive purposes. Also, since these students were capable of doing such a thing now, it's highly likely that they would repeat the same thing in the future unless draconian treatments weren't given to them.

Some might argue that punishments don't necessarily translate into positive actions on the part of the offender. IMHO, whether the person-in-question self-corrects them or not because of the punishment, it is their voluntary will. But, to uphold the integrity of the law of the land that is equally applicable to everyone, punishments must be enforced upon these students.

Once again, the cynics might argue that what I have said above is an ideal situation and that money will buy everyone. All I can say is that it is wrong to paint everyone with the same brush just because some people have indulged in devious and underhand dealings.

Likewise, the rest of the class, who went along with D&her friends, when they gave the complaint to C should be given moderate punishments so that they properly inquire into the exact nature of the truth in the future instead of being manipulated into giving false voices against innocents.  

I think I have just demonstrated that it's highly possible for any layman like us as well to perform a Thought Experiment that is in line with the established principles of science to inquire into the heart of the matter without bringing in our subjectivity to the fore.

The beauty of such Thought Experiments is that you can reach provable results by being within the confines of your wall though it's physically demanding and mentally exacting as the process requires a gruelling lot of cognitive effort and strain to visualize the implausible, improbable and impossible events with real limitations.

Though my Thought Experiment has every chance of occurring in the real world as there are too much distrust and intolerance that has percolated and pervaded the fabric of society, this is still a Thought Experiment as it's not possible for any actual person to voluntary undergo the said scenario in live conditions. 

In the end, Thought Experiments not only helps the society to understand and apply the principles in a better way but also expands our thinking process into more crystallized form to be one with the reality instead of being dissociated from it.
