ROGER ADDS MORE TO HIS RESPONSE TO RICK:

RICK WROTE:
<< The proposition that Quality=Reality is the underlying
 principle of the MoQ and therefore the Value of the MoQ will depend on the
 veracity of that proposition. We can hardly decide which maps have Value if
 we don't examine them to see how closely they resemble the road. A map that
 does not reflect the road is of (at best) questionable value; a metaphysics
 that does not reflect reality is the same. >>

ROG RESPONDS:
My response to this is buried in my other post, but for the sake of clarity I
really should add that the MOQ reflects the road quite well. That is why I
take exception with some members' (not yours!) apparent disdain for applying
the concepts of the MOQ to other fields of intellectual pursuit. If the MOQ
was inconsistent with my experience, or with math or quantum physics or
evolution or with the better sociological or economic theories, then I see
this as a problem. Good ideas and theories often complement each other, and
rarely contradict.
