This reminds me of that one video where the guy can press a button to get 1million dollars, but each time he presses it, it's a year off of his life. He starts pressing it over and over again.

I feel like I'm surprised but also not surprised by the poll.

Should I take this to mean that in a run-off-the-mill society, the natural state of human existence is to have no care for artificial legal constructs such as habeas corpus? Institutions are a very fragile thing... :sweat_smile:
In a magical world of infallible fairies I do. Reality is much less concrete.

Hmm, why not? Sure, it's not absolute certainty someone bad gets sent to solitary confinement, but 70% is good betting odds. Still, I would've bargained with the magical girl to double down; increase the reward and send the person to be experimented on perpetually until they die. Why waste a perfectly good solitary confinement on someone on a "permanent" resident?

No way will I press that button. That much money would ruin every friendship I have. I don't care if the criminal had a record to make Hitler blush, I will not accept the money.

I either have 30% chance to sent minacia or 70% chance to sent minacia. That's a win-win.

70% is supposed to be infallible? I thought it's very clear that they're completely fallible...
I assume the magic is perfect on the execution of the option it lands on, :blob_hmm_two:
And that said landed upon option does perfectly obey the stated probabilities, :blob_cookie:
