For me it is if there is not reason behind it, it has to be balance.
For example: If my son used a knife on his sister.... I will most likely beat him silly. That deserves severe punishment.
If he lost his bus pass, why should I use a cane, that one requires making him walk to school or taking away a game or something.

Agreed.
