The word "so", in the above, seems to imply causation.  Yet, it's
non-obvious how your conclusion follows from your premises.

You may have intended to express your ending sentence as a personal
opinion, but it's framed in the form of a logical deduction.

Supplementing that unsupported assertion with an analogy doesn't help
much.

"Standing" is an undefined term, in this context.  (It has a defined
meaning in legal contexts.)
