Looking through a legal theory site I came across this opening paragraph for an article on Personal Injury.
How do insurance companies and juries assign values to pain and suffering?
Putting a value on pain and suffering is probably the most difficult task for a jury in any injury case. There is no scientific formula and no chart or table juries, attorneys or insurance companies can look to.
Two people can have the same injury and one can suffer little while the other suffers a great deal.

I find it particularly interesting that in the legal world, which is obsessive about verbal precision of definitions, P and S are considered two very distinct and separate entities.
That essentially means that either is possible without the other (just in case you have not realized this fact through your own life experience) :-P
