actually, with regards to Samurai, there was some logical sensibility there;

1. Samurai do as ordered: If they did not, they would not have fulfilled their function in society.

2. If you killed a man and burned his house and left his child alive, his child would likely try to kill you or the lord that ordered it... in fact their society would expect such a result. Thus, logic dictates they had to kill the child and be willing to do so without hesitation, or it could harm their family or lord.

(2.) Is a somewhat outdated survival necessity we only look on with condemnation now. Much as the killing of Cecil the lion was met with outrage recently, whereas in the past if someone killed a lion you would most likely just have everyone who heard you killed a lion congratulate you for surviving and killing a perceived scourge of humanity, because back then it was survival, but now it is not.
