Just two posts ago you wrote of the death penalty's deterrence:

I don't argue for deterrence. I think that argument is just as specious as yours about eliminating the death penalty to avoid executing the unjustly convicted.

But in this post you write of it:

Perhaps so, but I prefer "justice" as the basis for my argument

Can we assume that whenever you call something specious, that's actually no more than an uniformed opinion that you hold lightly?
