Krimel,

I get very few opportunities to find the mother's voice inside of 
me.  You may not understand what I am about to suggest, but so be 
it.  Do you think women, who has developed and carried in their womb 
for nine months, nursed, nurtured and taught a child, or many 
children, might assign quality different from a man? Because I tell 
you that when I see a mother, even on the television, with a dead and 
blood smeared child in her arms, or holding an emaciated starving 
baby, I experience great pain.  I suggest to you that women DO assign 
quality in a different way than men.

The type of failure I sighted above is much bigger, and makes puny 
the success of the computer or going to the moon.  And that 
understanding makes women a superior judge of quality.    imho
