I'm not sure how to argue with all that. I was hoping there just might be a clearly good way to establish objective, or even perfectly calculated (or estimated) piece values. Unfortunately, I suppose there's no way we can know what'd happen if God played God (or if He already knows the piece values we should all have, regardless of whether it helps our play enough at our particular level, if a given size of advantage is not significant enough there). Also, if chess is ever solved by man, there still might be some trouble isolating whether B=N on average.
Aside from that, I'd note I added an extra paragraph to my previous post just now.
