Re: Master and slave

To me it implies significance, but not subservience. My primary objective is more important than my secondary objective, but that doesn't mean my primary objective ACTUALLY CONTROLS my secondary objective. Further, primary may simple mean "first line" (primary defensive structures, primary power system, primary safety system...). It does not de facto mean "one thing controls the other".
