Then I guess we are in perfect agreement. Friendliness is what the
average
person would do.
Which one of the words in "And not my proposal" wasn't clear? As far as I
am concerned, friendliness is emphatically not what the average person would
do.

Existence proof to disprove your "I have to believe . . . . "
1. Magically collect all members of the species.
2. Magically fully inform them of all relevant details.
3. Magically force them to select moral/ethical/friendly, neutral, or
immoral/unethical/unfriendly.
4. If 50% or less select immoral/unethical/unfriendly, then it's
friendly.
If >50% select immoral/unethical/unfriendly, then it's unfriendly.
Simple. Unambiguous. Impossible to implement. (And not my proposal)
Then I guess we are in perfect agreement. Friendliness is what the
average
person would do. So how *would* you implement it?
