Why would you even need more? If that (the SOL) is what he meant, he would have

Wrong. What Pirsig said "undermines" the MOQ is suggesting it is just another 
product of S/O thinking -- which is exactly what those who dump the MOQ in with 
other metaphysics in the intellectual level do. When the MOQ gets dumped into 
the intellectual level that way, it becomes "part of the system which it 
opposes" and its "essence" is lost.  "Remember that the central reality of the 
MOQ is not an object or a subject or anything else. It is understood by direct 
experience only and not by reasoning of any kind."  So it doesn't
belong in the intellectual level where S/O reasoning rules.  (All quotes from
