There is no such thing as society. There are individuals who have views which may or may not be properly or partially informed. So whose view shall we take on fairness? Whatever let's stop talking about 'what society thinks'.

OK, let's redefine 'society thinks' as - "The prevailing opinion of the voting public in a democratic nation, whom the nation is allegedly run by and for."

Perhaps you'd prefer to use the term 'electorate'.

Regardless, the meaning was clear and your objection rather ridiculous.
