Which itself achieves a positive outcome, by communicating to the next gullible 13-year-old who might be thinking about doing something stupid to someone else's computer that there might be real-world consequences to it.
Assuming gullible 13-year-olds are the sort to think about the consequences before downloading an executable and clicking "run," anyway. In my experience (so this is really just anecdotal evidence), that's rarely the case, especially when it comes to politics.
The total number of script-kiddies might go down a bit. Of course there's always going to be some gullible 13-year-olds who run scripts, but the idea is to have less of them. It's more of a statistical argument than an anecdotal one.
