[MD] A fly in the MOQ ointment

[Horse]

Hi Bo

Perhaps I missed it in my reading of Pirsig's letter to Paul Turner ( 
http://moq.org/forum/Pirsig/LetterFromRMPSept2003.html ) but I don't see 
anything to support your claim. In fact what I do see is an outright 
rejection of your position:

"The argument that the MOQ is not an intellectual formulation but some 
kind of other level is not clear to me. There is nothing in the MOQ that 
I know of that leads to this conclusion."
Robert Pirsig to Paul Turner ( 
http://moq.org/forum/Pirsig/LetterFromRMPSept2003.html )

So where in the letter does Pirsig do as you say and come within a 
'hairs breadth' of your (incorrect) position?
