[MD] Intellectual Level

[Horse]

And you like to hide behind anything that suits your purposes.

Pirsig specifically rejected Bo's ideas and yet this was either:
1) Ignored by you and others or
2) Pirsigs rejections are used as supporting evidence against what they 
specifically reject - I.e. such as when Pirsig says X he really means ~X 
- he's just too dumb to understand what clever people say.
So the problem here would be that even if I had a note or an email 
showing that Pirsig completely and totally rejected your ideas - you 
would either ignore what he says or say that he really agrees with you - 
he's just too dumb to realise it! This is what Bo did and this is how 
you supported Bo. So, if we're going down the evidential road you need 
to find something that shows that Pirsig specifically supports what you 
say. That way you can use it as evidence that Pirsig supports you. Do 
you have anything?

The whole point about your reification idea is that it is a fallacy!
That's why it's referred to as 'The Reification Fallacy' - there's a 
clue there that it might be a fallacy!
But if you want to stick to your misinterpretation of reification then 
please answer these questions which I have asked you before but you 
refused to answer.
We'll start off with these:
Tell me how zero is reified
Tell me how the square root of -1 is reified
Tell me how a hypercube is reified
Tell me how multi-dimensional mathematical concepts in a 3 dimensional 
world are reified

These are specific examples, not generalizations, of questions that need 
to be answered if your idea is correct and reification is, indeed, not a 
fallacy.

P.S. And if you don't feel able to answer my questions today, there's 
plenty of time tomorrow.
