I read this article where the author tries to set up definitions for fairness and justice. i'f we try and make the definitions of words objective as possible, does the article make a good point about the separation of fairness from justice into different objective definitions?

Seemed like a very poor article in IMO. The concept of fair to me means the agreed upon, whether by implicit or explicit consent. The most Just, the agreed upon by at least two individuals (providing their agreement does not violate the NAP to 3rd Party's), failing that some form of previously agreed upon Arbitration insurance or failing that some form of social ostracism.
