If you can't comprehend that hurtful is completely subjective you should not be writing any rules.

Just because something is subjective doesn’t mean it doesn’t have merit.

Most things in the world outside of pure mathematics are subjective. If you’re looking to do nothing if it involves subjective decision making, nothing would ever get done.

All around us, all day every day, we look at a problem, we take the best info and expertise available to us, and we make a judgement call.

The fact that almost always some level of subjectivity exists doesn’t mean we do nothing.
