> It's also a fact that many happy marriages began as a relationship between superior and subordinate. I'm curious about what fraction of superior-subordinate relationships you think culminate in happy marriages, and how low that fraction has to go before you decide that forbidding superior-subordinate relationships is a lot easier than negotiating the messy world of allowing it? My guess is that the fraction is pretty low, and the world of HR standards in the west has already been through this calculus.

> the world of HR standards in the west has already been through this calculus HR's calculus is dominated by considerations of risk to the business, something about which I care not one jot. The standards of American corporate HR departments certainly should not be society's standard for what constitutes acceptable behavior. As for what fraction of such relationships are "happy marriages," I don't know. I do know that my parents met that way, as did several couples of my acquaintance.
