There no reason for Defamation, Libel, and Slander to cause damage under common

There no reason for Defamation, Libel, and Slander to cause damage under common law. This leads to nonsense. The only natural law requirement for defamation, libel, and slander is that the speech is false. In fact, I am not sure, given the Cosmopolitan history of “heaping undue praise” that “undue praise” should not accompany defamation, libel, and slander.
