Ron - It's only logical that if the former has value, ESOs do too. Not exactly the same value, but not $0 either. The argument has been when to expense the value. As no loss is suffered at grant I don't see any need to expense them at that time. I gave an example of a proposed bonus where an employee would receive a sum if performance goals were met. That no doubt has value to the employee but has the company suffered at loss at the time the bonus was promised? I can't see a loss and I can't see a difference. Haven't you ever wondered why employees don't refuse the options .. because they are without value? They are of some value to the employee. The discussion is if there is a corresponding loss to the company that needs to be expensed immediately.
