An extension of Michael?s inquiry into applied MoQ: Suppose there?s a breech of contract lawsuit brought before 3 judges. In order for the plaintiff to prevail, it must be shown BOTH that the defendant violated the contract AND that the contract was valid. After both sides have presented their cases, the standing is: Judge 1 says the defendant violated the contract but the contract was invalid, so finds for the defendant. Judge 2 says the defendant didn?t violate the contract, though the contract was valid, so finds for the defendant. Judge 3 says the defendant violated the contract and the contract was valid, so finds for the plaintiff. When the judges deliberate, the consensus is that the defendant violated the contract and also that the contract was valid, so find for the plaintiff. Does the MoQ have any answer to this dilemma? Craig I can provide a similar theme in evolution using Mendelian genetics: Let's say that violating a contract and that that contract is valid are a pair of complementary genes, both of which are negative, that is that they are deadly when occurring together. The two other sets of genes, (didn't violate the contract, and the contract was invalid) are the complimentary dominant genes . Both the plaintiff (the woman) and the defendant (the man) carry one of each of the genes, and can therefore survive. The plaintiff and defendant mate and have four distinct children. By the statistical laws of heredity, one child will have two good genes (didn't violate contract and the contract was also invalid). Two of the children will have one of each gene, one good and one bad. The fourth child will be born with both bad genes and die. High Quality:Low Quality x High Quality:Low Quality = 3 survivors, one dead. That is what happened to the poor defendant, it's survival of the fittest!
