Pirsig said in the Baggini Interview:
The alternative to "The Metaphysics of Quality says," would 
be "I, Robert Pirsig, says," and that repeated many times 
sounds worse to me...If the term, "static" is being used here 
as it is used by the Metaphysics of Quality itself, then the 
answer is, "All metaphysical systems are static intellectual 
patterns. There isn't any other kind of metaphysics." This is 
so because the MOQ describes intellect itself as a set of 
static patterns.

Matt:
Yes, thank you, Steve.  That is the exact place I was thinking 
of when I talked about the MoQ being simply a rhetorical 
strategy (as they all must, since it's all rhetoric, right 
everyone?).

 
Marsha:
Of course, even the Dharma is empty.  I imagine that's what you're getting
at, and I agree.
