Dylan, at least you are now using the terminology "agreed value."  With 
an agreed value policy, the agreed value is exactly that -- it is 
agreed, before the fact, based on documentation presented in order to 
obtain the policy.  The company has agreed on the value when the policy 
was purchased.  There is no after the fact situation.

Let's agree not to discuss this further.  David
