Parasitism has nothing to do with will or even awareness. Technically, our gut bacteria could be considered parasites, no? Yet the best of ours even help the body last longer.
I don’t think so? Just looked up the definition of a parasite and it needs to live at the expense of the host. Gut bacteria are beneficial I assume, so they aren’t parasitic.
Tree trunks are round. At least wooden tables are more likely to desire a circular shape. So corners are likely to be parasitic on wooden tables at least.
I mean isn’t that symbiotic?
More like epiphytic. The table neither gains nor looses with or without the corner.
But it is absolutely definitely not parasitic!
You don’t need corners to have a table (it can be round)
But a corner cannot exist without features that form it.
It would only be parasitic if a round table was forced to be square against its desires. If a table wants to be square, the corners are being helpful.

Oh. Well, anyway, awareness has nothing to do with it, at least.
