Overts give the highest gain in raising cause level because they are the biggest reason why a person restrains himself  and withholds self from action.

Man is basically good. But the reactive mind tends to force him into evil actions.  These evil actions are instinctively regretted and the individual tries to refrain from doing anything at all. The "best" remedy, the individual thinks, is to withhold. "If I commit evil actions, then my best  guarantee for not committing is to do nothing whatever." Thus we have the "lazy," inactive person.

Others who try to make an individual guilty for committing evil actions only increase this tendency to laziness.

Punishment is supposed to bring about inaction. And it does. In some unexpected ways.

However, there is also an inversion (a turnabout) where the individual sinks below recognition of any action. The  individual in such a state cannot conceive of any action and therefore cannot withhold action. And thus we have the criminal who can't act, really, but can only re-act and is without any self-direction. This is why punishment does not cure criminality but in actual fact creates it; the individual is driven below withholding or any recognition of any action. A thief's hands stole the jewel; the thief was merely an innocent spectator to the action of his own hands. Criminals are very sick people physically.
