[Case]
Still it seem to me the reason you are giving for rewriting the 
dictionary definitions flows from your conclusion that the MoQ needs 
the support of the revised definitions rather than because the words 
actually lend themselves to the new meanings.

[Arlo]
Pardon me if I'm not overly worried about "dictionary definitions". 
Just because the status quo approach to "value" over the years has 
been to make it a human subjective experience gives me no desire to 
keep using the word in that way when given a metaphysics that posits 
"value" (Quality) as the fundamental source, prior to subjects and 
objects. Besides, we're not talking "Latin" here, our language should 
be flexible and adaptive, not rigid and restrictive.
