    There is an elder swordsman who has dedicated their life to refining their blade. A life of training, failure, modesty, and improvement.

    How can you distinguish their work from a novice? And how do you dismiss their skill so readily?

    More importantly, should the novice not be treated just as well, in any case? Because skill is not the deciding factor in justice.

      Are you asserting that skills otherwuse differing only qualitatively are related by a ranking, based on the duration of time invested in acquiring them?
