     It  is important to recognize the differences between
the  various  kinds of  flaws,   defects,   imperfections,
standards,  etc. which may exist within different kinds of
realities.   First there are different kinds of realities:
objects,  persons,  ideals,  values,  goals,  assumptions,
beliefs, processes, questions,  statements,  actions, etc.
Each  kind  of  reality may or may not be flawed  in  many
different kinds of ways;  some of which may  be  inherent,
others accidental; some correctable, others not.

     We   cannot  deal  wisely  with  flaws  if  we  treat
different kinds of reality with confusion; i.e., confusing
one kind  of  reality with  another  kind of reality---and
behaving  as  if  they  were the  same  kind  of  reality.
Treating a wild tiger as a tame kitten is foolish!

     We cannot  deal  wisely  with  flaws  if we relate to
different  kinds  of  flaws within  one  kind  of  reality
without   recognizing  the  importance  in  the  different
natures  of the flaws.  Relating to a person with  a  skin
birth  defect  in the same way as treating a person with a
habit of compulsive dishonesty is foolish!

     We cannot  deal  wisely  with  flaws if we relate  to
different  kinds of flaws pertaining to different kinds of
realities without recognizing the important differences in
the natures of the realities AND the important differences
in the natures of the flaws.  Relating to a married couple
trapped in an addictive relationships in the same way as a
scratched piece of Chippendale furniture is foolish!
