Hi Elliot and Erin,

Excuse me butting in like this, but the following caught my eye:

ELLIOT
My defintion of uniqueness is "different
in every aspect".

I think that your definition is unworkable.
Something "different in every aspect" would, in MoQ terms, it would be
PURE DYNAMIC QUALITY.
I maintain that such a beast would go completely unnoticed -
pragmatically, it would not exist.

You need some recognisable feature to recognise something in the first
place. Its uniqueness may stem from just one single piece of
non-conformity among hundreds of non-unique features.
