Another possibility is that the poor definition of what is fair is used in some contexts.

- pixl97 4y agoAgain, this is a problem with global versus local context. Just a made up scenario. You have 2 gallons of water and two people. You give each one gallon of water, which should be enough to survive. One lives and one dies. Why? The water was split fairly. For example one could live in the hot desert in which more water is required, and the other lives in a temperate environment where either less water is required, or water can be gathered from this environment. But just think how messy it is to compute fairness in a situation like this. Suddenly it's looking like a NP style problem. People on the other hand typically want cheap and easy solutions.
