I thought the idea with Turing's pardon was that pardoning him implies that he did something wrong which is clearly not the case. What do you think about this argument?
There is that implication as well. There is also the implication (Turing again being used as the example) that only a famous person who contributed greatly to society is worthy of "forgiveness", and the government doesn't need to bother acknowledging that other "regular people" harmed under the same unjust law.
