Absolutely now, it is our law. You can change the word, you can call it whatever you want, but it is the way we manage our processes, etc., in the Spanish dictionary this is law, and I guess is the same translation in English.


Perhaps it's worth suggesting that the definition of the word law has been contentious and the subject of much debate by highly-qualified scholars and philosophers for millenia, and understanding it's definition is not simply a matter of consulting a dictionary.

Rather than becoming hung up on that (arguably intractable) problem, perhaps we could look past that particular word and consider the merits (or not) of the respective arguments in our own context?
