Stealing is defined as the taking of property without consent of the owner. Cheating is appropriation of something by subterfuge. Price gouging, in general is charging an exorbitant price by taking advantage of or creating a monopolistic market.

All of these are qualitative definitions. They make no attempt to define quantitative limits.

But all of them are accurate, and all of them describe very real phenomena.

"All of these are qualitative definitions. They make no attempt to define quantitative limits."

Either a law is broken or it is not. What does a 'qualitative' definition mean?
