  In fact, Reinach argues that the common-sense assumption that a reprehensible deed is actually worse when done without a second thought—an assumption that contradicts the prevailing wisdom of criminal law—more properly reflects the direct moral significance of deliberation. It is good for people to consider what they do. Failure to deliberate about a crime implies either a fundamental disregard for or an insensitivity to values—and neither seems to reduce the culpability of a criminal act. Thus, Reinach concludes that the law is mistaken in attaching more severe punishment to deliberate than to non-deliberate crimes.
