just to reiterate the terms:
*****
Given:
1. "might" is defined as ability to impose positive and negative consequences, immunity to reprisals, lack of needs requiring exogenous sources of fulfillment, and endurance.
2. "right" in this application specifically excludes mathematically correct solutions to specific problems, mechanically sound design, etc... we are speaking SOLELY of the form/concept of "right" tied to "morality"

Postulate:
"right" is always defined by might, and that definition's range and power is always proportionate to the might of the one making the definition.

Challenge:
Provide one case where the above is clearly not operant.
*****

I will NOT consider answers which deviate from the above terms - changing the subject is no more an answer to a challenge than moving the goalposts is playing football :)

Okay, King. But then you need to tell me: If we're looking for "answers," then pray tell what is the question?
