[More Nice Moments in the Classroom from Larval Subjects by larvalsubjects
STUDENT: Professor Sinthome, when you were discussing rhetoric and the distinction between expression, content, and structure in language today you made me think about my shirt.
ME: Oh? (Confused)
STUDENT: (student turns around) Well if you read what it says– Peace, Love, and Happiness –it expresses one thing. Yet where did it come from? Where was it made? This shirt was made in x, not exactly the nicest place in the world. It’s like, it’s like, the packaging says one thing and that’s what you endorse, yet when you look into what’s behind the packaging, the message all falls apart. Like with all those organic foods I buy.
ME: So what is it you’re really consuming when you consume these things?]

In Savitri Era Religion, the packaging, and the message are both genuine and form one organic whole satisfactory to the consumer. [TNM]
