I think the comparison got a bit diluted, because the initial mention of a 100 threshold sounds like &quot;pretty much anyone&quot;, while LaDue comes out more like a 50 threshold or at least something that feels like middle ground - equally (dis)interested in cold violence and empathy.<p>LaDue is probably much less &quot;normal&quot; than the 99 threshold comparison near the end suggests, but I believe the idea, that this &quot;threshold expansion&quot; may continue and get worse, was well enough communicated throughout the article.
