"Life moves forward."

Then readers must ask to explain and provide a yardstick to check.

A careful reader should ask questions such as:

What exactly does "moves forward" mean?

Why should moving forward determine legal rights?

What evidence supports this claim?

How would we know if the principle is correct?

Does it apply equally in every territorial dispute?

These questions seek a testable argument, not merely an appealing slogan.

Without answers, the phrase functions as rhetoric rather than demonstration.
