Message:: [QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7889750, member: 110504"]...Um, from a recovering Philosophy major (undergrad only), once you set up a contrast between "finest" and "most beautiful," you're already Waaaay deep in the semantic swamp.To [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] 's point, beauty is (sorry for this --well, except, not enough not to say it anyway) irreducibly subjective.  (Thank you, even in the immediate context of feminine beauty; Yep, from male perspectives.)And to [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER]'s and [USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER]'s ensuing ones, where "fine" is concerned, you really need to preemptively define what the (expletive of choice) you're talking about.  That at least has the potential to admit of further, factual explication, even in quantifiable terms.  But only once you've defined the initial one....Wiki is good for a Lot, starting, in a best case, with references that you could cite with a straight face, in anything resembling an academic context.  Except, nuance?  Not so much.[/QUOTE]
