I think it's taken as an axiom of the MoQ that Quality and Morality (and Value) are identical.
My view of this is that Quality/Morality is being referred to in a particular way which defines
an underlying reality not in the more narrow sense of a reference to a particular act or type of
act. This is where I think that the concept of Good appears and what I'm not convinced about
is that Good and Quality/Morality (in the sense that I've described above) are the same thing.
Obviously they are related and closely dependent but not, I believe, identical.
