See, this statement here shows that you really don't understand how this event happens. You are arguing an erroneous, misinformed point.

I don't accept the theory that the brain has some kind of disconnect. This is a theory, it's not a fact.

Tell me, if someone has an aneurysm or seizure while driving and their child is killed, does that parent not have their priorities straight either?

Think about it before you answer.

Why don't you accept it? Please present your theories based on knowledge.

Think about it before you answer.
hypothetical implication of the findings is that a better understanding of how these circuits interact might lead to ways to help people avoid or unlearn bad habits.

An aneurysm is a physical condition. What the article, and you describe, is a hypothesis. These are in NO way comparable.

If only the brain actually worked that way. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

The burden of validation is on the person offering a hypothesis.

Then, by all means lets let all child abusers out of jail. After all, it's their brains that made them do it.
