	To all of the above: Precisely what I was getting at.  I guess there
is no disagreement here, just misunderstanding ...

"Look ... If I went 'round claimin' that I was emperor because some watery
 tart lobbed a schimitar at me, they'd put me away!  Some water-logged wench
 distributing swords isn't a basis for a system of government.  Supreme
 autocratic power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical
 aquatic ceremony."

				M. Python's "Holy Grail"
