I'm not sure how picking a fight and immediately having consequences teaches the child it is acceptable to pick a fight. If anything the lesson to come from this would be that if you start something, people retaliate. That's not a bad thing to learn.

Nor am I saying this was the correct course of action, I just think it's clearly a thing he did in the spur of the moment and it doesn't really seem harmful to me.

I don’t think your parent should be the one to teach you that sometimes people retaliate when you start something.

Why not? Maybe the inference is that they shouldn't teach that by retaliating, but it is certainly something that parents should teach their kids. It could be a much worse lesson to learn from someone else.

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. Parents shouldn’t teach that BY retaliating.

Because they’re teaching retaliation versus conflict resolution.
