this may well be
in any case the question remains
as you also seem to wonder below
can we find or rather confirm a living quintipoint anywhere that is equal or
higher in the hierarchy than the tertiary level already confirmed at
okeechobee & suspected in maienbuhl
municipalities are never primary except for the vatican
& rarely secondary or even tertiary
but usually quaternary or lower
so i am most curious if you or anyone else can establish the objective
levels of any of these newly suggested quintipoints
