Abstract: It is shown that for any computably enumerable (c.e.) degree $\mathbf{w}$, if $\mathbf{w\not=0}$, then there is a c.e. degree $\mathbf{a}$ such that $\mathbf{(a\lor w)'} = \mathbf{a''}= \mathbf{0''}$ (so $\mathbf{a}$ is low$_2$and $\mathbf{a\lor w}$ is high). It follows from this and previous work of P. Cholak, M. Groszek and T. Slaman that the low and low$_2$ c.e. degrees are not elementarily equivalent as partial orderings.
