It would be illogical to say changes don't change things.
The evidence is just about every single war, battle, or fight humankind has ever had. To say nothing of vandalism

If you take away justifications for violence, then people will invent new ones, or realize that it's not justifiable and become okay with that.
It would be illogical to say that, but that isn't what we're saying, now is it?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
