Probably based on the idea that people who knowingly do bad aren’t going to respond to aphorisms.

That’s a much wider question. I mean, we don’t always exempt that behavior, but I would agree it gets a pass far too often.

So many of the ways we manipulate people are illegal. As such we have actually said “don’t do it” in the strongest way possible. But usually people don’t advocate prison time for the ways the saying means when it says manipulate. Like I can manipulate you to buy me a better present than you usually do by saying “if you don’t do this for me then you don’t really love me”. Is your response in that situation “straight to jail”?
