Perhaps, but that doesn't invalidate the exercise.

There is a certain mindset that *can't* see the concept of a 
greater idea behind a simple symbol -- and that's at heart a 
protestant mindset. High Church (and let's face it, royalty 
and court are "high church" concepts) minds recognize that a 
  symbol, which represents a thing, can stand in for that 
thing.
