I didn't mean to leave the impression that I condemn or attack the validity of
science, but simply to point out its limitations. Above the biological level it
has little to offer. On the other hand, Pirsig offers an explanation of our
total experience. To believe that science has a monopoly on truth is to make
it another fundamentalist religion.
