    No. They said that labor did not require more or less skill. They did not say that all labor is skilled labor. You, ironically, are fighting the straw man.

        It’s not a strawman just because you miss the point so entirely.

          Your point is that if you needed surgery, then you would want it performed other than by a cook with a dirty spatula.

          Your point is meaningless.

          No one suggested that someone performing surgery would not be properly trained.

            That wasn’t my point because i didn’t say that. I was explaining that the person who did was only describing how having more or less skill is true using that scenario.

              Skill is not a quantity.

              You identified as a quantity duration of time invested training.

              You conflated an item with one of its attributes.

                You can have a quantity of skill.

                Skill is not a requirement for justice, nor is it something that should be denied from workers.

                  Skill is not a quantity, nor is it quantifiable, and your further objection embodies a straw man attack.
