Dear Jonathan, et all...

I like your statement here...it is a good thought provoker...and it also
seems incomplete to me...which adds to the fun, as it invites the =
temptation of filling in the missing parts...

And I feel it would benifit from some
further qualification, or for me it would, which likely had attended it =
in
your
article which I have
not read, and so maybe I am being foolish to get into this...not having =
done
my homework and all...

The quote is:

> My statement...

> "Methods of making pottery do not determine worth, efficacy or
> value."
>
> I stand by this statement.


I would agree with you that "Methods of making pottery do not determine =
worth, efficacy or value."

But only as I would assert, that it is People who do (determine worth, =
efficacy or value).

That is, People determine the worth, efficacy and value they will =
assign, deem,
attribute or find...and the appreciations they may have about the =
'Methods' will influence them, or may do so, as it may...

Is that what about you meant?
