That is totally incorrect. They just apply _their_ mark, that the submitted content follows _their_ requirements.

The people that take that as a cardinal truth (like you do above) promote that mark to an universal definition. :-P

Well of course. Stronger, I really wonder why it wouldn't be the case in a non bourgeoise society. In short, the Law must always be interpreted, and it has been so in history forever.

The means to interpret just varies, a Judge, a Jury, a Tyrant, a tribe-elder or, in the more extreme (but not rare!) cases by a duel, sheer luck (presented as an opportunity for divine intervention) or default guilt. (Inquisition)
