Why would I want to quantify it? The burden of proof is on the thief.

I have a gadget that will, with some probability, steal your life's savings. It operates through a process that is analogous to a human chewing. When engineering it, we just say for simplicity that the gadget "chews". Of course, that's only a metaphor -- machines can't chew.

But (and here's where your argument gets ridiculous), unless you can quantify the fact that my gadget can't chew, then I will steal your savings. Good luck.

I can think of 2 instances of that machine already. the finance industry fees and an ex-wife.

Why can't machines chew? That's an even weirder analogy, it would be quite easy to make a machine that chews exactly like humans do.
