    You are conflating a duration of time invested acquiring a particular skill, which is quantitative, and therefore may be ranked, if desired, with a skill itself.

      No one is conflating anything. You are arguing with yourself. Rank it however you want. People can have more or less skill, and that’s OK.

      It doesn’t mean that one person deserves more rights than another. THAT is the point.

          There is an elder swordsman who has dedicated their life to refining their blade. A life of training, failure, modesty, and improvement.

          How can you distinguish their work from a novice? And how do you dismiss their skill so readily?

          More importantly, should the novice not be treated just as well, in any case? Because skill is not the deciding factor in justice.
