Well Roger, intrinsic is a real word with a definition based on common usage. Instead of using it to describe something inherent in the object, you use it to describe an extrinsic value residing in an individual's judgement. Not unlike Humpty Dumpty saying to Alice in Through The Looking Glass that when he uses a word "... it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."

Value isn't intrinsic -- it's always what it's worth to someone.
