** Put into a larger context, it makes sense. As explained in other places, the reassociation taboo isn't just some token rule for the betterment of the symbiont, but to keep the Joined from forming an aristocratic elite that cannot be penetrated by the now lower class. It's a harsh punishment, but it's a hardline attempt at preventing tyranny and oppression.
