That is what creators do usually. They destroy their creations which turn out disappointing although they know its their own fault.
At least in that quotation this creator was resolved to suffer watching its own faulty design. That is the worst punishment to a creator: watching its own faulty design.
What kind of punishment do you have in mind? And when you want to punish someone for wrong doings, aren't you just the same as someone like FutureCEO who says: repent now or we'll burn you in hell?
