    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.

                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.

                  Ok, you concede skill can be quantified and compared. People can also have more skills than others. And, yes, generally.
