yea. The variable that determines whatever "quality" is, is not inherent in the thing itself so much, but in our observations of the thing in question. In that sense, quality is akin to theories of observation in quantum physics, where nothing can actually be observed because observation itself creates a system of observed and observer where any change in one creates change in the other. The act of looking changes the observer which in turn changes the observed... etc...
Ideally, you observe without creating a system, but that's not possible. Even those who observed my teaching mistake and kept quite affected quality because they responded to the curriculum differently than they would have otherwise.
In that sense, I'd have to suggest that the quality has changed as a result of the young man's observation that caused me to observe, which compounds the system to interactions between not two, but now three, at the least.
Then, there's Einstein.
