That's certainly not what I meant. The current system incentivizes sweeping poor behaviour under the rug when voters feel it's bad, but not bad enough for the only available punishment. And so, in having only one, severe, punishment, the ostrakon actually achieves the opposite of what it's supposed to do: it compels citizens to come up with excuses not to condemn poor behaviour. I think it's reasonable to think that if we offer more granularity, this perverse incentive to lower standards of behaviour will disappear.
