If I write back, then I must be attempting to control what you think eh?  I thought
that the modifier I used, "domination" made it clear that I meant it a bit more
extreme in the sense of the word, than as a mere logical connective of sorts.

What a person values often tells more about the person, that about what is of 
value.   If a person believes that they can tell which people are of value, then
that tells a lot about them.  If they further tell what their yardstick is, then that
tells even more.
