I doubt we seriously disagree. There are no requirements for being a parent beyond a certain degree of manual dexterity to insert tab "a" into slot "b."
Quality of parenting is more important that quantity.

I agree with that too, of course, but the two things aren't mutually exclusive.
I can think "quality it more important than quantity" while still thinking that 2 parents in a committed, loving relationship generally tends to be better and more stable for the child than 1 lone parent with the other not being present. Obviously, if the father was a psycho, for example, it would be better for the mother to raise the child alone. But if 2 people are good people and committed to each other and love each other, this would still be a generally better scenario than a scenario where one good person is alone raising kids. Would you agree with that, or do you think it's completely irrelevant?
Thanks for the response.
(EDITED TO ADD)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
