@16, There you go Hexile, that's a much better tone, with much better punctuation, and your point is made much more clear for it. That's really what I'm asking for here. Sorry to unfairly insult your sleeping patterns.

As for what makes for the best RP, I see a bit of what you're getting at here, and I would agree to the extent that "good" RP, or even "very good" RP could just entertain without actually indicating "higher truth" of some sort, but to my own mind it always seems that, with any form of entertainment, the best comedy, tragedy, even horror has some element of deep insight in it which is there for you to find if you are willing to gain insights from things. Some people just want to enjoy the entertainment without the philosophy of course, and that's their right.

Naturally, what each person considers the "best" of something would be heavily influenced by that person's own values, and even though agreeing on the objective "best" RP (or even music or film, for that matter) would be nearly impossible for all of us here, I still enjoy talking about it because it helps me understand different people's values better.
