re: #207 Capricious Casserole of Calamity

You drag this red herring of a logic fail from comment to comment. It does not follow from “in specific cases we can be pretty certain” to “a standard can be formulated which will objectively sort out all such cases into one neat category”.

The logic fail is the belief that if we can’t be certain for everyone we can’t be certain for anyone. The second logic fail is the belief in a need for a blanket policy instead of judging individuals on a case by case basis. That’s why “we can’t be 100% certain in every case therefore it shouldn’t be used in any case” is a simplistic argument.
