I might even take this further and say that it is impossible for any given
person to define "friendly" to a satisfactory degree of precision. Judging
by the amount of debates it creates on this board, if its even describable
as a discrete concept, its a concept that is independent of any single
person's cognitive apparatus. I know I couldnt formalize it if I tried. If I
did try, most people here would probably disagree at some point.
