If you can master it in a week it isn't a skill. You are redefining the word to make it so broad it is useless to make some ideological point. Also given what I see with Amazon boxes I doubt they can in fact pack better than I can.

    You are describing someone acquiring skills over the course of a week.

    An assessment as you have given would depend on, as a basis, the general skills already prevalent within a target population.

    Also, it is questionable that someone would not continue to develop skill through practicing a task longer than a week.

    Your invocation of a judgment is essentially vacuous, as you have done with the word "master".

    Jesus who are you trying to impress talking like that? Putting shit in a box is not skilled labor in the sense being a plumber or an accountant is. Just because I can't define the line exactly does not mean there is no line and pointing out that my reasoning isn't perfect doesn't make your reasoning correct.

    It is unskilled labor because words are defined by consensus.

    The line is imaginary, and division by any line is not particularly natural or useful.

    What consensus are you imagining? I cannot recall being asked to offer an opinion for any consensus.

    Who participated in constructing the consensus? What processes are generally available to challenge the entrenched consensus, or to direct the development of a new consensus?

    Which groups have supported such a consensus more strongly than others?

    Bullshit lines don't matter. You clearly act like it does. Do you eat anything randomly or do you have standards of hygiene and taste and nutrition?

    Yeah you weren't consulted. Your whims don't outrule billions of people who refuse to be ordered to believe that 2 + 2 = 5.

    Still goalposting moving, which is also unskilled labor.

    You asserted a consensus had been formed.

    Who participated in forming the consensus?

    Did you participate? Are you benefiting from such a consensus? Would you be harmed by its being replaced?

    Why is your tone so protective and forceful?
