Where’s the line? Are any valid axioms allowed or do I have to restrict my use to certain subsets when doing an analysis? An example, because I don’t know if I’m asking the question well: If you have a group of people, they must all perform better, worse, or the same as each other individually.

Here is the abstract: In an era in which dating apps have become the primary matchmaker for millions of Americans, the lack of basic safety requirements for these platforms is […]
