Basing it on Mohism is more of an aesthetic decision than anything; if classical Mohism has an issue then Neo-Mohism should set out to solve it. :)
I think there’s a difference between “no fixed standards” and “the ability to update standards in light of new evidence”. Neo-Mohism is definitely about “strong opinions, weakly held” kind of thing. The standards it sets forth are only to be overturned by failing a test, and until then should be treated as the best answer so far.
Thanks for the feedback!
