[MD] The SOM/MOQ discrepancy.

The reason for Pirsig's saying that nothing but man responds to DQ is I believe
that he (correctly) regards the intellectual level as Q-evolution's last stage
(leading edge) and that humankind's is it's sole "inhabitant" here (not even
all of those). 

[Arlo]
Then perhaps you would be so kind as to give me an example of something that
responded to DQ before "man" appeared on the stage, and give me an example of
something it could do in response to DQ that it can no longer do today? Let's
say the Mesozoic Era. Something existed during that nearly 200 million year
span that could respond to DQ, right? What?
