Hi SA, To answer your question, I think that to not answer the question of what Quality is, is to leave it to DQ. But I recognise that as much as I or the Buddhists, or even you try, this cannot help but be a definition. To say, DQ is no thing, is still a definition. Of course, the answer to 'What is Quality?' cannot be answered for quality isn't any thing in particular, but this is a definition so I say quality exists.
I think, when you don't answer the question of what quality is, as you do on here, I think that this is the perspective of DQ. But there is another perspective of quality which is discussed on here, which I have noticed and you say so here, that you have trouble understanding. That perspective is the perspective of sq. The perspective of divisions, and 'this is better than that' and so on which is just as relevant as the perspective of DQ. So to answer your question, Quality can be both defined and not defined and the MOQ defends both positions. Cheers, David.
