[MD] From each... to each

[Case]

However, fragrant it is, it probably won't sell well if you name it "Pig
Farts" either. Although, Fat Bastard Wine seems hell bent on contradicting
that one, the number of companies dressing up crappy products with
attractive names is legion.

This seems muddled to me.  In the 1st paragraph it seems language determines
our values.  In the 2nd, values determine our language. 
I can bring out a line of fragrances called "Esquisite", "Eau de Paris", or
whatever, but it won't sell if it stinks.
