Alright so finally caught up and I wanted to get into this intrinsic definition thing...Well I used to think that it properly used when talking about the value of comics or collectibles. That their value was more about what they are instead of what they are made of. However after being called out on it, I went and looked at some definitions and am more confused. I think that coming from coin people that intrinsic means the value of the stuff that makes it up....like Rock mentioned, the 1 oz gold coin having an intrinsic value of the price of an oz of gold. While that coin has a much higher value than just the value of the parts.
So Dr. Econ is calling the value above the sum of the parts as intrinsic...some jobber sticks his nose in and says that Dr. Econ is right and Zeph is wrong.
Which is it, dammit.
