On second thought

Isnt this line of the Mahrsha “אין לדון כן לענין עונש דאימא זה שעשה עבירה החמורה מזו אינו מתכפר בעונש המפורש בקלה” An explicit rayah to my position namely: That the more severe punishment does not necesarily indicate it is a more severe aveira ?

(Of course others can argue on the Marsha but hey a discerning reader will choose which of the two he wants to go with. 🙂 )
