So... motorized wheelchairs are vehicles?
Are motorized wheelchairs vehicles?
> a thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land, such as a car, truck, or cart
I’d say yes
Not many people agreed with me, but it’s a strict rule that I could imagine something like the military trying to enforce over a top secret area.
It blocks everything ambiguous so only the horse was not a vehicle.
Overall I think it’s a good experiment as it shows why it’s good to enumerate examples of what is and isn’t part of a rule in order to adjusted it the future.
I look forward to bring my vehicle by navigating through my 4D tessaract to a place where I could not have had the information of the rule.
Endless regress detected, redo from start.
100% agreement with the majority per question might put you in a very small minority, BTW.
You only go mad if you try to lawyer things. Or your opponent does, which means that this test lacks the thing that really makes rules-making hard: determined opposition, would to trust your every word.
The definition of a vehicle is quite broad and you've scoped it rather narrowly. When left so open people may scope it more or less narrow and land on differently scoped definitions.
I think there is certainly a middle ground when making rules(and laws). But this example purposefully uses an ill-defined rule to drive a point home.
My rule was that a vehicle was an artificially powered object capable of moving itself along with one or more people (not necessarily comfortably! This is just a mass threshold). "In the park" means in the region of space where one could physically interact with people in the park, or alternatively in its legal jurisdiction; the airspace a few thousand feet above the park's topmost solid point is almost never under the jurisdiction of the park itself.
I agree with the overall point about moderation, but I find this a bad example because I think someone reasonably rules-oriented would settle on very similar rules.
