True, as I said it was a bad example, but there are pretty strong traditional meanings to some symbols as well, even if there are alternative ones.
I was simply curious. I think CoAs are harder to discuss than badges because so much of them are ritual. We can't say "and the stars mean this and the lamp means that and the colors stand for something else entirely."
