    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.
