Agreed. In any case, priorities cannot intelligibly be defined in abstraction from actual cases; in practice there are _always_ priorities, more or less correctly grounded in concrete circumstances. They would also vary over time (without fundamental principles changing in the least). If class is a process, not a set of tin cans to sort the marbles in, then it is impossible a priori to say what priorities fit what moment in that process.
