[MD] Side Step

[Ian Glendinning]

One more time.
Bo and Platt regularly divert attention away from the dishonesty of
their argument with this selective quote from Lila's Child:

 "God knows the MOQ has never had two better friends than Bo and
Platt, so this is no criticism of their otherwise brilliant thinking."

Which is Bob's polite rhetorical lead in to damning them with faint
praise, since Bob's immediate following sentence is ...

 "It's just that I see a lowering of the quality of the MOQ itself if
you follow this path"

Whatever the relative merits of Bo's SOL interpretation and any
orthodox Pirsigian view (arguments welcome, for ever), Bob does not
endorse it, in fact he explicitly brands it low quality.

To claim otherwise is a simple lie.
