Steve's Razor: A Philosophical Theory on the Logical Impossibility of the "Legal Scam"

This paper introduces and defends Steve's Razor, a logical principle asserting that the phrase 'legal scam' constitutes a fundamental contradiction in terms and is therefore logically impossible. Drawing on Aristotle's Law of Non-Contradiction, the Socratic tradition of definitional inquiry, and contemporary philosophy of language, the paper argues that the word 'scam' carries illegality as an intrinsic and definitionally constitutive property. The paper further distinguishes between scams and exploitative yet legal business practices, and addresses potential counterarguments.
