Just as I suspected. You missed the whole point of the MOQ. You fit Pirsig's
description to a tee:

"To answer him you have to go all the way back to fundamental meanings of what is
meant by morality and in this culture there aren't any fundamental meanings of
morality. There are only old traditional social and religious meanings and these
don't have any real intellectual base. They're just traditions." (Lila, 7)
