As you say "A kid sometimes needs to touch a hot object to realize it'll burn them and decide to never do that again", we call that common sense. But we've become a society that no longer learns common sense by experience, we do what we are told without asking why we are doing it. Regardless of what our experience, "common sense", tells us.

I haven't heard about the willful deception.

Has someone come out and admitted to willfully deceiving the populace? Like did someone say "so and so knew X but told the populace Y"?

Purely just asking.
