By making a split between "sense of value"  and experience you have thrown 
a hanging curve ball. That pitch, my friend, is your good old 
subject/object worldview you predictably throw every time. An MOQ batter is 
waiting for that pitch, knowing really is no distinction between value and 
experience. To the MOQ batter they are one and the same. Consequently your 
pitch is a fat softball. Whamo -- out of the park.

But, who's keeping score? :-) 

Warm regards,
Platt
