Just remember.
A fish capture doesn't happen in a vacuum. You must balance that negative reinforcement with the hundreds, or maybe thousands of positive reinforcements that occur with each feeding.
If my Big Mac has a wood splinter in it, and I poke my tongue, I'm not going to eat less long term. I may remember the negative reinforcement for a while, and I may even break up the next burger and cautiously examine it before I eat it, but the negative reinforcement will soon become just a faint memory for me.
And supposedly I'm smarter than a fish.
My personal opinion is that negative reinforcement schedules for a fish that's captured are somewhat overblown. Especially beyond the short term.
But then again....I could be wrong.
It seems like I lose this argument about once a year on this forum.
