> You seem to be implying that philanthropists who don't do naming rights only give smaller donations.

No, I’m not. I constructed extreme upper and lower bounds as a baseline for comparing axioms. That was the purpose of my reference to the apocryphal, “now we’re just haggling over price” quote.




Axioms that don't exist in the comment you replied to, so I'm unsure why you're bringing them up here.


Of course they do. Axioms are inherent to all positive statements, even if they’re implicit. And you can’t construct (coherent) normative statements without positive ones.
