Equality for values -- new analysis, same conclusion

I agree that is a possibility (and I've been quite clear about this).  
Where I don't agree is that this is the _only_ sane possibility, nor do 
I agree that this is somehow intrinsically desirable.  You've flat-out 
assumed that it is, and gone running from there, which is a totally fair 
opinion, but rates a zero on the persuasion scale....

So, if you want to make this case, start over, and convince people that 
Object== is the root problem here.
