Quantity vs Quality-excluding energy needed.


Quality
Most people wants our work is always of the best quality, and says quantity is less important than quality.
"Quality wins to quantity."
One God wins a war with a million soldiers.
Or so they say.

Quantity
Quantity has its on quality.
"Safety in Numbers apply."
We depend on each other to enchance our work.

The Question

Which is better?
Quantity or Quality?


Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

They both are equally important.

If you have enough quantity of water, buts in filled with Vibrio Cholerae(the virus that causes Cholera, i know) then it sucks.
If you have pure water, but just a tiny droplet, the vibrio cholerae will probably eat it so there;s no use.


Need to have co-ordination, like peanut butter and jelly.
Arlen is hot.

But, if the price difference(quality) is low; it would be better of to sell a small amount of high-priced products.

It's entirely dependent on the subject matter. When it comes to things like friends, quality is way over quantity. However, with something like money no one gives a damn if the dollar bill looks pretty.

Ah, but 1 kg of gold is better than 20 thousand dollar bills. I would take quality over quantity any day.

Depends on what your talking about, if say your on about a fight/war type scenario then i would say quantity, because you could have a bunch of excellent fighters, but say you had 10 awesome fighters against 70, then its obvious the one with 10 is gonna lose, so quantity in that situation.

Where as work, its quality.

So like nightwolf said, both are just as important

My post was referring to dollar bills, not gold.

Well yeah, but in terms of what the dollar bill represents (i.e. a monetary value), gold is of higher quality (as in gold represents a monetary value which is higher then the dollar bill). I merely expanded your example from the physical condition of the dollar to the actual worth of the dollar bill.

However, quantity has its own quality, so when the amount reaches a certain number it's better than choosing quality.

For example, 1 kg gold is lower than 1 trillion US dollars.

Quantity strongly depends on HOW MUCH.

It is possible to reach a point when Quantity beats Quality in arguably any situation.

If 10 noobs can't beat you in Halo 3,,then 20 noobs will,,etc
"If u'r about to die,,then think of how good ur life has treated u up to this point.  On the
other hand,,if life hasn't treated u good up to this point,,then take joy in the fact that
it's not going to bother u for much longer."

But at the same time they make great cannon fodder in wars and do all the mundane jobs most wouldn't do.

I would say Quality over Quantity...

But I think one day both will apply once we have robots doing the Mundane jobs we can shoot those that are scummers...LOL

What about love? Does quantity ever surpass quality in that situation?

That's for a woman to decide.  Besides,,most of them value foreplay(quantity,,the more foreplay,,the better) more than the climax (quality).
-that's accoring to Playboy.

And can quality surpass a more powerful quantity when it reaches a certain quality?

Also quality > quantity. Just look at the Police Academy movies.

Staying left to fight a war is just stupidity too imo. Let them rape your land. Go leech theirs. It's hard to judge quality and quantity in war since there is no such thing as a terminator or sth that is better than anyone else. If you have Parkinsons then you shouldn't be in the army.

In MATH,,quantity will win out.  Here is the proof:

1) Let GOD represent the ultimate quality
2) Let PERSON represent (1/1,000,000)th quality of god,,or PERSON = (1/1,000,000) * GOD = GOD / 1,000,000

Note that:

GOD = 1,000,000 * PERSON


STEP 1:

Now let's assume that we have 1,000,000 PERSON,,then:

1,000,000 * PERSON = (GOD / 1,000,000) + (GOD / 1,000,000) + ... +  (GOD / 1,000,000)            [for a total of 1,000,000 times]

On the left side we know that GOD = 1,000,000 * PERSON
On the right side,,we can take 1/1,000,000 out to get

GOD = 1/1,000,000 (GOD + GOD + ... + GOD)                [GOD repeates 1,000,000 times]

GOD = 1/1000,000 (1,000,000 * GOD)

GOD = GOD         [our computations work out correct]



STEP 2:

Since GOD = 1,000,000 PERSONS

What happens if we have 2,000,000 PERSONS?  Then the ultimate quality, aka GOD is LESS than 2,000,000 * PERSONS


Of course the argument against this is:
if GOD is supposed to be the ulimate quality,,then it can't equal PERSON / 1,000,000



All in all,,QUALITY = QUANTITY

Woohoo,,did anyone actually follow the proof? LoL,,didn't think so....
"If u'r about to die,,then think of how good ur life has treated u up to this point.  On the
other hand,,if life hasn't treated u good up to this point,,then take joy in the fact that
it's not going to bother u for much longer."

That might be the dumbest and most irrational post I've seen in a while. You can't equate anything to God because there isn't even proof the dude exists (which would make God = 0 if he doesn't exist and therefore destroy your theory, by the way).
