      Formally, this is an example of positive punishment where the addition of a stimulus decreases the likelihood of the target behavior occuring again.

      Negative reinforcement refers to subtracting/removing a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a target behavior (think reducing a prison sentence for good behavior).

    Right hook is nice. Don’t want to split HAIRS, but would be good to see a left jab.
