Are we talking at cross purposes? I get the feeling you're missing my point!
The assassin tried to take out Sarah before Sarah had met Oliver.
If she had succeeded that would have had huge repercussions to Oliver's timeline and, given everything he has done (including the recent saving the entire world stuff!), that would have been far more devestating to the timeline in general than anything the Legends are being accused of doing.
Of course, Sarah isn't the only one. For any of them, the earlier in their lives that you target them the more changes their absence from the timeline would cause to future events.
it seems to me, that it is crazy of the time masters to be meting out punishments in such a heavy handed way because, basically, their punishment for the crime of tampering is essentially more and worse tampering
It seems pretty ill-judged, if you ask me!
