??? AFAIK, only when a minyan participated in learning (beraita deRabbi 
Yishmael, for example) or reciting pessuqim can one say qadish. You might of 
course say that pessuqei dezimra constitutes the latter, BUT, those who do 
only have qadish after mizmor shir 'hanukat habayit, which had obviously not 
been recited in presence of a minyan. Furthermore, who says that we should 
insert that mizmor at all? The original minhag did not include it (and 
indeed, we don't say it). If its inclusion isn't definitely necessary, then 
the qaddish can't be, either, so how do we justify interrupting the holy 
pessuqei dezimra for qadish?
