[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

Right Platt!

Whose being dishonest by ignoring what?  This is exactly why I wouldn't want to be an intellectual.  Look as what you must do to maintain such an image of yourself.  Who is fooling who?

The meaning is so explicit and so clear that there is just no way a reasonable person could reject it. And so you get accusations of stupidity and intellectual dishonesty as a reaction to that rejection. Anybody can make a mistake and we all have lots to learn but when these explanations have to be repeated over and over and over again - for years in some cases - people run out of patience. They get frustrated. That's just a natural reaction and the insulting conclusions reached about this stubbornness is not crazy, you know? Sadly, it's probably true. There might be other things going on too, but dishonesty and ignorance really would explain this persistent pattern of behavior. If anyone has a better explanation, I'd like to hear
