Such a system would be seen as so hideous if instituted by "design" that its designer would have to be acknowledged as a monster of cruelty beyond mere human imagination.

Hmmm, imagine someone who would persuade you to grab your only son, carry him to a large stone in a remote field, take his clothes off, tie him face-up to the stone and press a knife to his chest. And then, as you're about to rip the knife through his ribs and shear out his heart, this chap calls out "Hey, just kidding!"

Is 'cruel' suitable? That's one unpleasant practical joke, and it's probably just as well this was before the days of PTSD and lawyers.
(Not to mention this joker's views on skyscrapers, rape and punishment according to just deserts).
