Correct.
I would add to that the definition of a value is the characteristic of
being the output of a predetermined transformation else it can NOT be
considered a value. Which basically makes it totally meaningless to
reason by examples as Jan Hidders did to establish truthes about
RM...That's an example of shortcuts people are always willing to take
especially in computing backgrounds...
