Hi Kim

You write:
<Your key point that 'value' is generated by the whole system implies, as
<you say, that it is meaningless to value any individual element -
<intangible or tangible - in isolation from the system of which it is a
<part.

This is more a principle of good will, the price that somebody is ready to
pay for something.
But accountants want to value every part of the whole and this is where
there is a contradiction with the SD point of view that would value the
whole thing.

Regards.
