If I asked whether you thought that, historically, taking out a man's two front teeth was the crime of mayhem (maim), then I asked you the same question about castrating a man, other than as necessary medical treatment, most of you would guess that the former was not maim and the latter probably was. In fact, the correct answers are exactly the opposite.
