LOL!
Good point!

However, an objective system could be devised for the Sun.
I seem to recall something about the Sun making a dozen or so revolutions 
around the galatic center since the "dawn of man".

What I'm concerned with here is what visuals are being communicated between 
players when a Figure recieves damage.
Is there always blood involved?
In the Spartacus Blood and Sand combats this seems to be the case.
Even when a Figure gets punched with a pommel blood flys.
Is this how most players are visualizing a successful Attack that scores 
damage?
In my experience I believe this to be true for most players.
This would seem to indicate that I could describe the severity of an injury 
from a weapon in a range from 1 to 21 points.
If I viewed this as the depth of a wound and allow a minimum thickness of 
Joe Average around 6 inches then I could start to set a depth for a point of 
damage.
Of course this is complicated by a number of issues but wouldn't be 
impossable I think.
If both the player and GM know that 1pt of damage from a sword blade 
represents a cut about a third of an inch deep against bare flesh the visual 
is a bit more objective for both players IMO.
