      There is an elder swordsman who has dedicated their life to refining their blade. A life of training, failure, modesty, and improvement.

      How can you distinguish their work from a novice? And how do you dismiss their skill so readily?

      More importantly, should the novice not be treated just as well, in any case? Because skill is not the deciding factor in justice.

        Are you asserting that skills otherwuse differing only qualitatively are related by a ranking, based on the duration of time invested in acquiring them?

          Are you using word salad to deny workers their lifelong earned skill sets by assigning an esoteric value judgment based on the level to which YOU deem it necessary for justice?

            My question is plain, and I have insinuated no denial nor revealed any agenda as you now are suggesting dishonestly.

              You deny someone their skill when you say they can’t have more or less of it. If skill can be obtained and improved, then it can be more so or less so.

              Skill is not a requirement at all for justice.
