Can i ask, what was the suggested  use of such an equation?  or was it 
simply to comprehend the supposed relations between these qualities?  I 
guess I am sort of askking, if indeed it is adding SOME THING!?! and what it 
would be adding to make bourdieuian calculas.

sorry if this is old, stale topic.
