there is no such thing as a human judge or arbiter.
There are only humans who claim to be judges or arbiters. Does that clarify what I posted?
An arbiter must have perfect knowledge and judgement and be absolutely incorruptible -- justice hangs in the balance. A human being, on the other hand, can be asked his opinion on a matter only, and cannot be impartial, ever.
