Regarding Robin Neill's definitions: 
 
The first two definitions seem clear enough to obtain widespead agreement 
in 
their application in discussion.  Unfortunately, the last three are riddled 
with ambiguous terms and I don't think will be very helpful. 
 
E.G.: What's a "social value?"  To who does it "dictate?"  What does it 
mean 
to say that someone "cannot afford" something?  What's a "strict market 
term?"  What's the meaning of "efficiency?"  What does it mean to "supply 
publicly?"  How does one identify "an inefficient result" in a market 
system?
