What Does “Addiction” Mean, in Your Opinion?

[Koldo]

Huh? How does it help you to argue anything for someone else to be unable to objectively determine another person is experiencing pain? Can you spell "straw man"?

"For instance, there is no objective way, in the sense you are using the word objective at least, to measure the pain you are experiencing at any given time. You will be merely exhibiting behavior compatible with the experience of pain. And most of the time that is good enough to state that you are objectively experiencing pain. Your requirements are your requirements and no one else's."

Be sure to let me know if you ever become willing to quote and respond to something I've said, or what it is that you believe you can conclude from someone else's inability to argue that the experience of pain is objectively measurable, or acknowledge that your idea of addiction is not an objective condition.
