7 To have the means of determining the “value” of conflicting value preferences means ipso facto to possess an acceptable standard. It is, however, specifically with cases where no such standard exists that the quotation is concerned.

8 This last point is a purely linguistic one. Any value which is defended by reference to another value is Q.E.D., not a primary value.
