Interesting point, though, it was "critical thinking" that uncovered this
inherent paradoxical core. And it was "critical thinking" that developed the
Metaphysics of Quality from its initial peyote-inspired revelation.

What "developed" the MOQ was Dynamic Quality and Pirsig's response to it. 
Otherwise, the MOQ would be just another dull metaphysics like other 
intellectually guided ideologies. The missing ingredient from "critical 
thinking" is its ignorance of the moral force of DQ. From such ignorance the 
flaws of critical thinking flow, resulting, as Angell and Demetis expose, in a 
process "infested with paradoxes.".
