That's what it means. Penalties are applied AFTER the infraction has occurred. If it comes AFTER, then by definition, it didn't PREVENT it. Is this really that complicated?
Uh, yeah. I noticed.

I thought that they were all instituted to try to prevent a specific act.

No. That's where you're exactly wrong. They were instituted to tell you what to do when somebody actually DOES something wrong; not to PREVENT the wrong action. The penalty in itself ASSUMES that the wrong action
has been committed.
Good grief. Those of you who are fighting this are simply being difficult. I'm done with this thread.
