    Sorry to be the voice of dissent again, but I believe the biological and the
    social levels are much more removed (or mediated) timewise than the
    intellectual and DQ. Evolution and social acceptance seem to occur much
    more slowly than intellectual reasoning building the argument for
    assimilating the DQ with a static latch, don't you think?
