[MD] The Quality/MOQ dichotomy

[MarshaV]

Hello David,

I am not a Materialist.  RMP has stated that the MOQ accepts 
Materialism as long at it is understood to be a set of ideas.  I am 
curious about science and Krimel's views for that reason, but I think 
he doesn't understand his scientific pov as a set of ideas but thinks 
of them as reality itself.  So yours and Krimels explanation are 
conventional explanations that reflect the questions being asked by a 
particular group of scientists and reflect the method being used to 
discover the answer.   Those three little sentences of Krimel's had 
me confused so I thought I'd ask for clarification.  Your explanation 
was interesting too.
