Well, not exactly Nathan, but I see where you are going. Lets see if I can elaborate...an example (only because it was raining and I read a lot of Shakespeare yesterday):

'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day..'

versus:

'Life Stinks'

Basically the same emotion, just a more modest use of words? An analyst might say such, but if you go on the sheer emotive expression, they are nowhere close. It's the same anywhere else, when they try to explain emotion/expression using the natural laws, it just sounds like a joke.

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: three very nice words that an analysis might show speak of strength and definition, but they are also ones who can also strike a boil in the pit of a physics student's stomach on test-day. Who is more right about the power of those words?
