So, if nothings wrong with this computer, then I suppose that means somethings wrong? So nothings wrong with this table, then I suppose somethings wrong? So nothings wrong with this house, then
somethings wrong? So nothings wrong with this planet, THEN SOMETHINGS WRONG OMG! :) Just because something will be wrong in the future does not mean there is anything wrong now and we should be
paranoid about the quality of things. In fact my understanding is that the MOQ supports a Zen state of fearlessness more than paranoia. I think this is because of the patterns and the 'endless
divisions' one can make and takes one further and further away from DQ. I think Zen and the MOQ with its emphasis on DQ kills this problem.

My understanding of the MOQ is that you don't have to go out and 'find' anything. The finding happens completely naturally because quality is right in front of you. See it?
