Dear Johnny,
I'm sorry. Your 9 Jun 2004 21:48:33 +0000 reply still doesn't make me accept
your definition of morality as "whatever most people do" or "whatever people
expect other people to do".
If you use the word "cheating", you imply that it is immoral (despite that
according to your definition it is moral in the situation you described).
Otherwise you should have used a word that has no negative connotations in
common parlance.
Expectations can change what people consider to be 'moral', but there are
other influences too, so "expected behaviour" doesn't define "moral
behaviour".
You only can say that the MoQ is inconsistent itself if you don't understand
that DQ and sq can both be Quality. They are a "contradictory identity", in
the terms Scott first used on this list 16 Aug 2002 20:53 +0000.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
