My statement...
"Methods of making pottery do not determine worth, efficiency or
value."
Should read
"Methods of making pottery do not determine worth, efficacy or
value."
I stand by this statement.

Sorry Jonathan...
my typo error.
Efficacy, my dictionary doesn't have that word...
but google does...
=20
Efficacy: Power to produce effects; operation or energy of an agent or =
force.

The use of the word in your sentence is pointless.

You stand by your statement?..ok
A dialouge would also be pointless then too.
As you refuse to even consider your own contradictions.
(not this one...the other )

What bothers me now is that this is published material
moving into god knows who's hands...
The paragraph, I find, is very loaded
confusing and misleading.
besides being somewhat out of context.
=20
If you will.. I would say...
That you are imposing an agenda here.
Seems to me the innocent studio potter
gets twisted into your version of what a potter can be.
I have no problem with that
But I do have a problem with this...
Young minds have a need to create an identity.
There is a clear distinction between an industrialist
and a studio or even production potter.
Ask your friend Harry why he sold you the rights for "love pot"
Don't bother I'll tell you... he wanted to remain a potter.
Why did you buy it.. because your a producer=20
making a product with an eye on volumes...
any method, actually only the fastest most efficient.
No prob...
we sure would be in trouble if everyone wanted to be a potter.

Jonathan, there is no need to drag your version of being a potter
behind you telling everyone your as good as they are.
Obviously you are talented and skilled.
But drop the corpse..it stinks.
