I could agree with that, but try to explain that to a devout
christian/muslim/jew. The problem is one of anthropomorphization I
think. Where most of us would agree that Quality is not sentient (per
the common understanding of the term), everyone I've ever met who had
strong feelings of religion would insist that god IS sentient.

along. The 'something better' will hopefully be a stronger understanding
of DQ that has a broad appeal to non-scholars.
