Ancient humans: We don’t know why we’re getting sick. Maybe if we stop mouth and butt stuff, it will help. Let’s make some laws and try it.

Modern humans: We know exactly why people get sick and how to prevent it, but we’re going to enforce ancient laws anyway because it helps us control the rubes.
