English term or phrase: at face value
...If the first(statement) took Tony Blair´s idealistic rhetoric too much at face value....
Veronica Lassa (X)
demasiado literalmente / demasiado al pie de la letra
Explanation:
Si la primera afirmación tomaba demasiado literalmente la retórica idealista de Tony Blair...

Son dos formas de expresar la idea, puede haber otras mejores. "Face value" es el valor nominal de una acción, el que figura en el papel, aunque el valor de venta pueda fluctuar.
