But still "arguably" deliberate, and fundamentally and unequivocally less obviously so than the Burrows's temper tantrum.

I agree it's a different case, because it was in a scrum, but it's about as close as you get - intentionally kneeing someone in the head when they didn't see it coming and couldn't defend themselves, where the offender has a history and a reputation.

Agreed, insofar as this being the
best comparison to what Burrows did, but only because his actions are so far removed from anything in recent memory. I still think that based on the ruling in
this case Burrows should be in line for at least ten games.

The Neal one is probably more dangerous because he's moving quickly. Seems about equal to me.

Not to me. The fact that Hall is on the bottom of a pile and Burrows winds up TWICE to clock him with his knee sets this on another level I think.
