    Idk, your source doesn’t seem to indicate that the practice was rare, either. Seems like, among the criminals that could afford it, it was a pretty regular occurrence. I guess “customary” has a cultural connotation to it, but i wouldn’t go so far as to call it a “myth” given how close @SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz’s comment was to reality.
