Collectivist premise; they aren't the ones damaged. That's part of the
reasoning that got us in this mess in the first place.


So what? Punitive damages are not a part of the "make a victim whole"
payment. They're added "on top" of that as a demotivator for similar
activities in the future.

It's an interesting idea, and it might cause fewer people to view the legal
system as a lottery.
