I didn't really mean the statement to be helpful, at least not in defining a concept that is probably not definable. I think we all know how we, individually, define fairness in a given case. If we want to arrive at a broader definition, we discuss our individual definitions, and try to arrive at some consensus, which eventually is codified into law. By the time it gets to that point, though, the issue of fairness has been largely left behind. If enough people think that a practice is unfair, it will probably become socially unacceptable and/or illegal. If enough people think that a law is unfair, it will probably be changed. But does that mean that in either case there is some abstract and certain measure of fairness involved? I don't think so.
