Hello, did you ever took a look at my book MALC? My view is quite clear 
described there. You shouldn't have to worry at all about this.

NO, not at all. see above.

I think examples of BOTH dynamic AND static Quality is interesting.

I am sorry but I think you misunderstood my appraisal for Dmb's contribution.

The value of money comes from what price the seller and the buyer agrees about, 
in each and every deal. No deal - no profit - no buyer value realised. Labour 
applied is no guarantee for customer satisfaction.

Sorry about that André. I think Lila is a great book. I have learned a lot 
about how to use the MOQ perspective on my everyday life and in my profession 
as a business consultant for some decades. Having a good life anyway is a mix, 
a balanced process in ALL the four levels. My wife has an important role in 
that process. Don't forget to be human.
