Right, to be clear I wasn’t saying it didn’t happen, just that it wasn’t customary. I don’t think it’s fair to say that the practice was as widespread as the comment implies.
Idk, your source doesn’t seem to indicate that the practice was rare, either. Seems like, among the criminals that could afford it, it was a pretty regular occurrence. I guess “customary” has a cultural connotation to it, but i wouldn’t go so far as to call it a “myth” given how close @SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz’s comment was to reality.
