I use the phrase primary importance in a stricter sense: the single most important.

Solving problems in as mad band as Fleetwood mac is of big importance.
That factor shouldn´t be undervalued.
I don't think I undervalue it. I merely assign it ... secondary importance. From the point of view of aesthetics, Christine's personality & character -- both sociological and/or psychological factors -- play secondary roles. Steve MacDougall will tell you that I am, in any discussion of aesthetics, firmly anti-sociological. Beethoven's nobility of spirit & his kindness are of secondary importance to his compositions: of primary importance are the formalistic properties of the compositions themselves. It isn't Christine's inclination to placate co-workers in a dither that jumps out at me when I listen to "Hold Me." It's her singing, songwriting & playing that do so.

You may have a different opinion, & that's fine. I just want to be sure I'm understood properly.
