At times I wonder, aren't you here because Pirsig's books and/or his 
ideas in its time caused som inside-out-turn of your outlook "sock"? I 
thought all came to this forum for that reason, but there are many who 
obviously haven't read Pirsig's works and have other axes to grind.  

"How does this metaphor change anything"? A metaphor itself does 
not change anything, but is the use of a concrete event to describe a 
mental experience and the sock metaphor conveys so well my 
liberation from SOM, and - as said - I thought that all who wanted to 
discuss the MOQ did so because they also had been SOM-prisoners.

But alas ...
