Did we get split off from the original thread, or did I somehow post this in the wrong place?

Yes, this is very true and one of the things I enjoy most about swords such as this one. They really force us to step outside our modern perceptions of what we view as "good and bad", "better and best". Everytime I've used this sword I like it more because it teaches me something new. I'll have to get one of my own eventually.
