interesting i had previously only considered earning in the context of a contract, like 'earned' implied 'deserved', though now i'm thinking you can 'earn' and not 'deserve' through an extracontractual outlay of effort

I earned the right to an opinion but according to half the US don’t deserve one (oddly enough mostly the same half that thinks she didn’t)
so 'legit' is in the eyes of the beholder. does that make for an unstable 2x2? what would make for stable categories in a 2x2? or perhaps that is not possible?
