The only qualities that matter are those than can be quantified somehow.
If one cannot measure and reproducibly demonstrate then one is wallowing
in subjectivity. The entire thrust of modern science is to discover that
which is invariant and reproducible under shift of subjective view

To pure quality, incapable of quantification, I say boo hiss. Begone
subjectivity!
