[MD] The Greeks?

Given this line of reasoning, I have to say with all due 
respect that the quandary you've constructed in your reply 
above is what actually represents the "fake" choice.  We 
have no choice in the Pirsigian Universe about Static versus 
Dynamic Quality.

Matt:
I apologize, I must have completely misunderstood you when 
you stated, "given a choice, would you prefer to access the 
representation or the thing represented."  I assumed in 
interpreting the statement and what it was posing, that you 
were suggesting that the choice was between the first half 
of the disjunct ("the representation") and the second half of 
the disjunct ("the thing represented").  And that your 
correction only had to do with what the two halves of the 
disjunct stood for.

But it appears that's not what you meant (though I'm having 
a tough time construing what it was you were saying at that 
time now).  

You are correct--once you adopt Pirsig's vocabulary, you 
adopt the "Static versus Dynamic Quality" division.  I thought 
you were talking about a choice internal to Pirsig's vocabulary, 
which is the only place the "quandary" I outlined would make 
sense.  You were apparently suggesting a choice between 
Pirsig's vocabulary and not-Pirsig's vocabulary.  Due apologies.

Matt
