Hold it you fool! The DQ/SQ split supersedes the Subject/Ovject split, 
we all agree about that, my accusation is that the "Quality/MOQ" meta-
metaphysics that Pirsig launced in his Summary  re-installs or mimics 
the S/O by making Quality = Reality and the MOQ a mere subjective 
interpretation of it and - here's the point - as long as you take THIS 
latter-day Pirsig uttering as valid you have equalized  - not MOQ's 
DQ/SQ, but Pirsig's new Quality/MOQ distinction with the S/O one. Try 
to understand this before hitting your keyboard.

Right, I may not be capable of doing philosophology any more - I admit 
that - the MOQ has brought me under its spell, but as it is that we are 
here to discuss the MOQ I strike down on all deviations I can spot  and 
the "Quality/MOQ" meta-metaphysics is the worst yet encountered, 
and you Pirsig-swooners swallow it raw.
