	The sample passage in the base note concludes:

	A. "If you say that no values exist independent of the valuer,
then you say that there is no objective code of ... ethics."
	
	The conclusion is objected to:

	B. "The observer of the valuer (at least in this case) is a valuer (of
a specific kind) as well."
apparently on the grounds the conclusion does not follow.

	If it were true that: "If Z is a valuer then Z is also a value", then
B. would follow.
	However, since the distinction between valuers and values is 
relevant, A. follows.
