Interesting points altogether from the previous posts. From different angles, these characteristics of person states may be sliced differently.

Considering past lives and the systematic carrying over of instincts from previous lives it seems that there would be no state of naivety, innocence or such.

Those characteristics can then only be applicable if we consider that the actors in the different bodily forms along the line of incarnation may not bear liability for their past actions.

That situation may arguably be acceptable in case of loss of reason where the instincts themselves are behaving abnormally, with disregard to norms and order. So a raving lunatic can claim insanity to be considered for leniency or acquittance by dint of not being in any control of their instincts.
