Hi Marsha Wether somene has a good or a bad sense for quality can be discussed from what preferences that seem to use for his/her choices. What signs do we have for Ms Thatcher being a good chooser or not? What I've heard is that she promoted the Chicago school of neoliberal economics which is based on SOM. Being a SOMist means that only measureable facts count and that makes you fall into a trap if you want to measurably prove that Thatcher destroyed England. You should rather rely on unmeasureable qualities to be a pure MOQer like; is it more fun to live in England now with all this competition? What does having a job mean to you? What is the value of money in a rich man's purse? Therefore I think she had a bad self and no sense for excellence and goodness.
