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?

To: betty boop

to "answer a challenge" is to rise to a challenge to provide whatever item, innovation, example, or solution the terms of the challenge demand.

so, in this case, the "answer" you would put forth would be one which you believe meets the challenge to name a situation or example in which morality-linked definition of right, as limited in the given, is NOT made by might, as defined in the given. It is satisfactory to demonstrate how the terms of the given are incorrect, thus falsifying the terms of the challenge, if you can do so.

note: "assert" does not equate to *demonstrate*

surely you know how a dialectic works?
