Hi y'all,

Over the years, I have been amused by how the technical
aspect of processor queue assignment has gotten confused
with the emotional aspects of a particular job/task.  Quite
a number of times I have found people insisting that a job
had to be "put into the highest queue because it was important!"
What would be un-stated is the thought that the assigned queue
somehow conferred moral value and emotional importance to the task
being process by the computer.  By assigning it to a lower queue,
the task would somehow be diminished in importance.
