Who has the best capitol?

[Dukasaur]

Haha, you guys are great.
The best has got to be...

Or, in other words: "my subjective preferences are objectively better than your subjective preferences."

Yes, because I'm objectively better than you.

I'm going to go ahead with my idea that sparked this retrospective conversation in the first place.

Stumbled upon this thread. Could we try it again with Fictitious capitols. (not to be confused with Fictitious capital)

For example:
Terminus vs Trantor vs Kalgan (Foundation)
Romulus vs Vulcan vs Qonos (Star Trek)
Edoras vs Barad-dûr vs Minas Tirith vs Eisengard (LoTR)

If people want I'll have a go at making a thread.

Go for it. Although, since you're not working with real buildings, a lot will depend on which artist's version you choose. I've seen Edoras and Isengard drawn a lot of different ways.

Yes. You certainly are right about that. I'll have to do some research.

Depends on who you ask, there's no definitive answer.
If you would rather split hairs than actually discuss something, be my guest. I think you may find a dictionary more entertaining than these forums, however.

Science/Philosophy != splitting hairs

Where is the empiricism in aesthetics ?
