    (P1) QUALITY is Moral Perfection
    (P2) QUALITY contains DQ and SQ
    (P3) SQ attempts to dominate DQ
    (P4) Such attempts are immoral

    DQ contains all possibilities
    SQ is a finite subset of DQ
    Value determines the subset
    DQ finds that sticking to its values
    that there is a price to pay: conflict & contradiction.
    The only hope for DQ is to find its way round these problems.
