| Dec 26, 2020 at 15:13 | comment | added | JBH | @user2352714 You're getting it without realizing it. "How can I X without?" means you've established a limitation or condition that controls the gratuity of the gore. "How can I do this and achieve X" is without limit and allows gratuity. The discussion is about how to define those limits in as objective a way as possible (because L.Dutch and Elemtilas are right, there may be no perfectly objective way to draw the line). | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 9:22 | comment | added | user2352714 | @JBH I could easily see someone asking a medical question with the intent "can I do this ''without'' causing harm to the patient". But then that could rapidly be turned around into a torture technique. | |
| Dec 25, 2020 at 6:32 | comment | added | JBH | Yeah, I was having trouble defining a line that's better than all-or-nothing. However, I perceive a difference between, "Will this procedure cause pain" and "will this procedure cause enough pain." I suspect it's the latter we're trying to avoid - the tendency to excess or gratuity. How would you explain such a difference, or do you believe the line should be either all or nothing? | |
