gollark: Examples do not and cannot demonstrate some sort of general principle, particularly a more abstract one.

gollark: Again, some examples of things needing some sort of balance DO NOT imply it is good or generally necessary.

gollark: This is just an example of "you sometimes need a quantity of something which falls in some interval", not a general proof.

gollark: That seems like just "it's bad because it's something you don't consent to" and also "it's unpleasant", which is I think what we said.

gollark: The dictionary will probably define it recursively or in a somewhat unsatisfying way.
