However, if the beauty you're talking about is what's at the top of 
every level, isn't that really Quality you're talking about?

Hi Magnus,

I was about to say, "Yes." But then I happened across an article in today's 
NYTimes entitled, "Economic Indicator: Ever Cheaper Knockoffs."

It's the old story of you can't tell a book by its cover. Things that appear 
beautiful may be of low quality. 

That being said and with the caution "buyer beware," I associate beauty with 
quality most of the time, believing with Einstein, "In science, the beautiful 
is the good because it has proved to be the fertile." 

Again, thanks for providing a visual representation of "stacks" compared to 
other hierarchies. It really helps in understanding where you're coming from.
