Brilliant!

I like the answer of whether some thing is good or not that addresses that it is, indeed, a thing.

Is a lead pipe good or bad? Good if you are in cultures of antiquity up until life expectancies exceeded 30 year. Bad if you are using it to burgle someone with the threat of bludgeoning, or if you live in a culture in which life expectancy greatly exceeds 30 years (e.g. Flint, MI in the year 2014-present). And, like the internet, the lead in the water can change the way we think. Although we don't generally value the lead-thought-changes highly ...

You've bitten off a big bite, Ted! I'm excited for it. :)
