No, you're not missing the point at all, you're head on.

I had starting thinking about a "looking through a window into a house" 
metaphor, but your "pointing at the moon" captures the essence just as good.

Bo is always only looking and pointing at the moon, showing how the moon has 
been considered throughout human history. He never really tries to understand 
what happens on the moon.

Without going into your "mystic" portion of the MoQ (I think it's important to 
keep that out of a metaphysics, otherwise you just get lots of "new age" 
accusations), we seem to have more or less the same notion of what a metaphysics 
should be about.
