Just curious, the negative responses why is that?

If I knew how to do it, this post would be the first one. However, I'm still a Rookie.

That is a good question. I was wondering that myself. Could it be that there are some non-believers among us!!??

I figured it was to highlight those amongst us who are on the Dark Side.

That's what I meant! I've purchased some "Quality" tools only to have them not meet the definition of "Excellence".

Why the negativism against negativism?

As an antonym, I would suggest "floccinaucinihilipilification" (an act of estimating something as worthless, lacking quality), as in, I couldn't give a sheep's fleece for something that lacked quality!

Of course, those on the 'dark side' might consider it a synonym.

p.s.

I originally used the one word 'quality', because I didn't feel like reinventing the wheel.
