judge noun
  • one who makes judgments: such as
    • a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a court
    • one appointed to decide in a contest or competition; umpire
    • one who gives an authoritative opinion
    • critic
judge verb
  • to form an opinion or conclusion about someone or something, especially following careful consideration or deliberation
  • to assess, evaluate, or estimate
  • to hold as an opinion; guess, think
  • to sit in judgment on; to determine or pronounce after inquiry and deliberation
  • obsolete: To exercise the functions of a magistrate over; to govern

To be a judge is not the same as judging.

It can be.

However, to judge things for oneself (see judge verb, conventional definition 1) is not the same as assuming the role of passing judgment unto complete strangers.

Such a thing can only exist in an artificium.
It is one of its distinguishing marks.
