These two facts only contradict one another if you have an implicit belief that "fair" is "equal".
- vidarh 9y agoYes, that was the point the comment was making - that going back further shows that the common assumption of a more fair distribution is wrong.
- golergka 9y agoIt seems that you're mixing up fair and equal again - which was the point of my comment that you may have missed.
- vidarh 9y agoThen you might want to make that comment instead of trying to be glib. And no, I was not mixing up anything, I was pointing out that you were merely confirming what the comment said. That you disagree with the definitions used does not change that, given that it was clear which definitions were used, as you clearly understood yourself what was meant.
