MP: But that is still not measuring *Quality.* Its measuring the *chances*, the
*likelihood*, the *probability* of an experience having or resulting in Quality. Its
not measuring the Quality of the results. Its not saying "this is more Quality than
another."
Like I said; "If you can measure something that comes as a result of Quality,
you must be measuring something else upon/in/through/by which Quality was
manifest through experience."
RMP has Quality undefinable. I think we can agree this is the case, yes? So
how do you measure something you can't define? Yet we can measure chance.
Ergo, chance <> Quality.
