Check the full quote: "Now that intellect was in command of society for the
first time in history, was this the intellectual pattern it was going to run
society with?" (Lila, 22) Note "intellect" in command of society, i.e., the
intellectual level. One, not many.

[Arlo]
Yes, check the full quote. "was this [SOM] the intellectual pattern it was
going to run with". Thanks for proving my point. SOM is one particular
intellectual pattern.

[Platt]
I do claim and provided evidence from his own words, which you ignored. 

[Arlo]
Pirsig has denied this is his meaning. Outright. You can "provide evidence",
but to do so you have to ignore what Pirsig himself is telling you he meant. 

[Platt]
"Honesty" is not the issue. The distinction and significance of the MOQ is.  

[Arlo]
And Bo's MOQ and Pirsig's MOQ are distinct.
