Nor do you agree with Pirsig:

"What makes the free-enterprise system SUPERIOR is that the socialists, 
reasoning intelligently and objectively, have inadvertently closed the door to 
Dynamic Quality in the buying and selling of things." (Lila, 17, emphasis 
added)

It's perfectly OK to disagree with Pirsig, until you say and show evidence that 
he allows an SOM interpretation of the intellectual level. Then you become a 
persona non grata.
