Arlo,

I agree the two sentences may seem similar, but they are not the same.  

I having been addressing intellectual static patterns of value.  I do not know how 
you are using "intellect", but it confuses the issue.  -  We have strayed far from my 
questioning your "elevation/inferior dichotomy" and I am presently not prepared 
to discuss the Sophists versus Aristotle;  I don't get your point.  And you seem to 
be missed mine too.

Thanks for the time and interest.  

Marsha
