Although I'm not sure what "snowing" you is, I'd imagine it is something like a combination of what I would call "white washing" + "playing devils advocate" + "pulling your leg"... but I assure you none of the above was my intention. (not like I'm not predisposed to *them...)

*Having value* and *being admired* are clearly two different things, as was why I chose the simple words/meaning "taking a nap" as an example instead of a more *philosophical comment.
