> I think a "resilience to hardships" would be a better definition of quality

Does this refer only to program behaviour? I figure readability should count toward quality, but it doesn't directly affect program behaviour.

I think readability is very important for quality. It creates resilience against any hardship that requires changing the code, which is probably most hardships.
