I thought the purpose of a discussion forum was to exchange ideas.

It is. But you don't claim to have "an" answer, you claim to have "the" answer, which implies it's the only answer. If you have "the" answer, then you don't need someone else's idea, and therefore the way you're attempting to extract other people's opinions, by repeatedly asking the same questions and passing them off as having simple answers is disingenuous. If they were so simply answered then we wouldn't have different political parties, factions, systems of government, philosophies, etc. In my opinion, of course.

I claim to have an answer which is rationally sustainable and objective.

And I seek others who believe they can define the concept in a rationally sustainable, and objective fashion, so as to be able to test my assertions against alternate assertions.
