    In response to how we know what quality is:
     
    Humans discern quality as a matter of comparison - comparing "something"
    with the entire background of everything that they have learned. Thus "something" is
    better than something else, based on what one has learned and experienced up to that point in life.

    When we come shooting out of the birth canal we only have two things to
    compare - pain and pleasure. We are pre-wired neurologically to prefer pleasure over pain - and from that humble beginning comes all that we know.

    Inherently we recognize quality from the moment of birth, and possibly at some point prior to that in the womb. We are hard wired for survival, which at an early age requires only a response to the stimuli of pain or pleasure.
