    Hello David and Case,

    I'll start using the term 'relationism' instead of 'relativism' to help
    clear things up.

    Rebecca:
    I disagree that you're comparing your experience to DQ. You're comparing
    your position on that hot stove to your previous experience that's not on
    the hot stove.

    Case said in a further post:
    Consider for a moment a merely warm stove. It may not be so hot as to burn
    you. It may be the only place in the room to sit.

    Rebecca:
    Case has a good point here. I think I used this example once before: what if
    the reason you hopped up onto the stove was because the floor was covered
    with poisonous snakes and the stove is the only place to get away from them.
    Then the hot stove might be a higher quality perch than not being on the hot
    stove. It all relates to your other options - that's sort of what I'm
    getting at. You can't assign something a value unless you look at it in
    terms of something else.
