In general, I think that you may be missing that not everybody thinks 
that language is as important as you do.

[Arlo]
"Language" is a large part of how we communicate. When most people 
speak, their goal is clarity and precision as they work to 
communicate their ideas with others. But I understand that this has 
never been your goal.

But again, I have no trouble with the value of poetic license in 
Pirsig's choosing this particular narrative device. The problem 
arises when people, like yourself, forget that this is a narrative 
device, and instead take it to mean "The MOQ" speaks. "The MOQ" is 
what has been spoken. At this point, I doubt you'll ever comprehend 
the difference.

The "problem" is people who confuse "obfuscating" with "wisdom". You 
might want your nonsensical use of words and tangents and evasions to 
evidence some sort of "Zennie Briliance" on your part, but I think it 
just evidences confusion and an inability to think clearly. Not all 
fools are sages, some are just fools.
