Marsha:
Your list of nice sounding words are abstract 
symbols alright.  That would make them patterns, 
but big deal.  They can be social patterns 
(goals) that your parents or the church drummed into your sweet little
head.

Ron:
analytics are also social patterns that are drummed into our sweet
little
heads. the church is builton analytic, school...ect..
The problem, as Pirsig said, IS that perception that all those
nice words are just that, words. They are not. They are values.
Values derived from biological patterns, high quality biological
patterns, those silly words are the values that have ensured the
survival of our biological patterns and consequently follow
through in our social level patterns which comprise and compose
our intellectual level patterns. Else Analytics wouldn't amount to a
hill of beans, it would hold no value. Analytics embodies most of those
silly
words, it's value is based on them, Analytic is seen to be fair and
balanced
with no bias it is thought to be impartial and "objective"
without social value analytic doesn't mean diddly.
