Yes you are correct, frustration on my part.  I wasn't projecting it on you,
I was trying to explain why I was asking questions.  Perhaps I need to
change the way I frame them.

Yes, words are an analogy as Phaedrus stated in ZAMM, that is a given in
this forum.

I looked up the word analogy on Dictionary.com to see if it would help me
explain.  Definitions 5 is:

5. Logic . a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar
to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity
between the things in other respects.

I inferred that you were reasoning that Quality was analogous to not this,
not that.  Clearly I was mistaken.  You were simply stating that Quality can
not be described with words.  OK, I get it.  How is it then that you discuss
it?

What I am asking now, is: what are the known respective properties of
Quality?  You can send me a picture if that would help, so long as you add
some descriptive (not encrypted) words.  I do not do well with riddles.

Thanks again in advance,
Mark
