[MD] The Intellectual Gauntlet II !

[david buchanan]

Ian said to dmb:
...I was shocked at your statement suggesting the Pirsig had said everything that needed saying on the social / intellectual levels matter. Obviously my "silly" question back at you was rhetorical - intended to to get you to explain what you DID mean by it.  [and previously] ...is that you suggesting Pirsig's words are final and not open to discussion and improvement?

dmb replies:
I asked Mati why the committee objected to the answers supplied in Lila. I suppose you're talking about that.

How perfect could Pirsig's answers be if the committee rejected them? (That's a rhetorical question, by the way.)  Who said anything about final, perfectly complete answers that are beyond improvement? The Pope, maybe. See, you've put a rather bizzare (and insulting) spin on a perfectly legitimate question, namely, "What were the objections to Pirsig's explanations?". Your objections to this are based on nothing. Thanks for another pointless distraction, genius.
