Well I don't think that's an accurate way of putting it, but okay. An ingredient for the argument that it is reasonable to claim that there is some measure of natural ownership of something is that there are many things that would literally not exist except for the efforts and purpose of somebody. Given that our interpretation of ownership derives deeply from this, it is reasonable to claim that a natural ownership, so to speak, is existent.
The guy that punched you and took the tomatoes did nothing wrong. He was able to do it and he got tomatoes for it.
If I kill you in cold blood yet a jury finds me not guilty due to mishandling of evidence by police, did I do nothing wrong?
