The most absurd example of this is when Piter de Vries, the Harknonnen mentat, kills the Emperor's wife and yet House Harkonnen is not punished, censored or molested in any way. In fact, nobody really seems to care. The Emperor's freaking wife gets murdered and it's not really a big deal. What the hell?
