Could be.
Quark said something similar about gold pressed latinum. It wasn't the gold, or the pressed latinum, it was the pressed latinum within the gold that made it valuable. Perhaps the labor that goes into manufacturing it? Must have made sense to Quark, he sure likes the stuff.
Hey (in another wierd jump of illogic) Just watched TOS:The Changeling, and in one scene Uhura has had her entire memory banks erased of all education. They have to retrain her, and while she's learning to read, she gets frustrated and lapses into Swahili. Like it's a primitive tongue of the uneducated mind. Isn't that a revealing bit of history? Just like seeing her panties regularly
