[MF] MOQ: valuable or not?

Based on the following (Lila, p. 99) I'd say he would.
  
     [...] if Quality or excellence is seen as the ultimate reality then it
     becomes possible for more than one set of truths to exist. Then one
     doesn't seek the absolute "Truth." One seeks instead the highest
     quality intellectual explanation of things with the knowledge that if the
     past is any guide to the future this explanation must be taken
     provisionally; as useful until something better comes along.
