Your entirely missing the point.
I was trying to make a point of my own, which was that I don't take this issue too seriously. People like Jefferson, Bastiat, and Franklin were able to accomplish the things they did, because they didn't spend a lot of time worrying about how to carry groceries. Burlap bag, wooden box, whatever works. Throw it in the wagon and lets get that Declaration of Independence signed.
If men like them did not have a consistent and well thought out philosophy of Liberty then we never would have had a Declaration of Independence. They would have thought government telling you or a business what container to use as completely absurd and utterly ineffectual in actually effecting change in human behavior for the positive.
