As Pirsig would probably advise based on his truth anologue, to say
Bo's assertions are low quality is fine.
[Arlo]
I think pretty much everyone is saying precisely this.
[Platt]
To censor him would be about as low quality as one can get.
[Arlo]
Yes, if he was being "censored" for his ideas. This is not happening.
Horse has simply asked him to cease the dishonest rhetoric that
strives to imply that Bo's ideas are the same as Pirsig's ideas. They are not.
Bo's MOQ = the intellectual level IS SOM.
Pirsig's MOQ = the intellectual level is NOT SOM.
Arguing one over the other is valid. Attempting to equate them, at
the expense of suggesting the author is too stupid to understand what
he himself "meant", is not.
