No, I'm talking about "qualitative" and "quantitative", not "quality"
and "quantity". There's a difference. F.ex. qualitative properties of
a certain animal (it either has a tail or not, it has a discrete amount
of legs et cetera) or a quantitative variable (measuring the current
temperature or whatever, a real value). Actually, quantitative variables
can also be discrete... That's statistics for you. :)
