Matmonim: Daf Yomi by Rabbi David Lapin

Makkot 15b Educating vs Intimidating - התראת ספק

Rabbi David Lapin

Just as in the Torah, the purpose of Azhara is to educate us in values not to threaten us with punishment, so too hatra’ah (warning) is to educate the person about the consequences of his actions, not to intimidate him with fear.
