OK, now if we have parameterized "appraiser" then we can
parameterize "appraisee" also?
Cue: Mommy gives Tracy an apple.
How does Tracy feel about getting an apple?
(appraiser=Tracy, appraisee=Tracy)
How does Tracy think Mommy feels about giving her an apple?
(appraiser=Tracy, appraisee=Mommy)

submitted appraisals.
