Everyone knows this, there is nothing to admit.
An Axiom upon which society it built goes the strong rule the weak.
A Theorem, which is farther up the logical food chain, says the only reason Judges have any power is because there is a police man with a gun willing to do what the Judge said.
Police officers rule everything. They can let you off a speeding ticket, or one can shoot you in the dead of night and claim, "the guy made a tactical move on me, I was in fear for my life," and then go home.

This thread is mislabelled.
The study, according to the article, showed that people tend to stay in line because they don't want to get punished.
Fear of punishment is the most unhealthy basis of social order, however. So, rather than being "good for society", I think the research shows the opposite.
