    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.

              Does an apprentice in a trade have more skill or less in his trade than a master in another trade?

              Again, skills differ qualitatively.

              At best one may conceive as a quantity a particular kind of skill, but not skill generally.
