Oh, go ahead and be honest!  Honesty is good, even if you're not an expert. 
It's high quality thinking out loud.  It helps you maintain personal 
integrity.  In addition to all that, what you were toying with is true: The 
MoQ is one philosopher's paradigm for existential reality.  It is not a 
metaphysics because it does not transcend the physical world of appearances.

Yes, learning to see the world as Quality is an aesthetic experience that 
has much in common with the study of art forms.  But, as with the 
appreciation of any work of art, Quality relates the subject to the objects 
observed.  It can't be realized outside the SOM paradigm.
