If it’s claimed that “you can’t judge lives”, it doesn’t seem like the most natural reading is “there exists at least one theoretically possible comparison of lives that you can’t judge, though you can judge some such comparisons and you may be able to judge all comparisons that actually turn up”.
I think I object to your comment for more reasons than that but would need to think about how exactly to phrase them.

I am merely repeating what I pointed out in my essay.
I feel like you’re reading my comments uncharitably, and would like to bow out of the discussion.
