Matt Replies:
Maybe, I'm just not sure what the terms you are using all mean (part of it's your syntax).  I'm not sure what the consequences of taking them on board as part of my own vocabulary would be.  When things remain opaque, I generally try to avoid handing out pluses or minuses.

Ron:
As far as meaning in Pirsigs term "more empirical" if empiricism is the art of explaination
and MoQ has more explanitory power, then experience verified with experience explains
more than what can be said about it. "walk a mile in anothers shoes" so to speak.
