The Quality perspective seems more like persistence to me, attacking every potential issue (like Howard Hughes polishing rivets).

Persistence to me extends the reality principle to even minor and potential issues: they *must* be addressed (the "almost predatory" response) - driving engagement.

Obstinance to me reduces the reality principle to consistent facts, and serves more as avoidance.

(The flaw of the Quality perspective stems more from expanding bureaucratic incentives and achieving scale through excessive punishment driving aversive behaviors.)
