“they didn't meaningfully choose seems, well... The Greek historian Herodotus tells a story about the Persian King Xerxes ordering the sea to be whipped with 300 lashes after a storm destroyed his bridge. Which seems irrational, right? To punish a force of nature. Leave my beautiful wet wife alone!”
