        "Good is an noun ... the ultimate Quality isn't a noun, or an adjective or
anything else definable, but if you had to reduce the whole Metaphysics of
Quality to a single sentence, that would be it." (Lila Page 468)

        I still say there isn't such a thing a "ultimate Quality." Quality yes,
"ultimate Quality" no. It's that "ultimate" modifier there before "Quality"
that bugs me; it's redundant, it's confusing, it's unnecessary.

        I see an image of a philosophologist standing at a podium before a class,
pointing a finger at the ceiling and speaking of "ultimate Quality," words
floating down the silient and hallowed halls of the Church of Reason. Passé
indeed.
