    A long while ago, I once said that Anthony McWatt was right to claim, in
    his critique of John Beasley's essay "Understanding Quality," that there is
    a difference between viewing the MoQ from a MoQ perspective and viewing it
    from an SOM perspective. I would also go on to claim that there is a
    difference between viewing SOM from an SOM perspective and viewing it from
    a MoQ perspective. I don't think the two can be reasonably argued for, one
    way or the other, because the shift is an entire shift in thinking, they
    share too few premises in common for a reasonable debate to occur.

    Hello there,
    'I once said that...'
    'I would also go on...'
    'I don't think...'

    Experience is common between SoM and MoQ.
    'You' - as a construct, cannot 'reasonably argue' without the structure of
    logic.
    However, the MoQ, emphasising experience prior to conditioning, may
    ostensibly be shown to have more value than SoM.
