Dan:

Yes... notice how skillfully Robert Pirsig uses praise to lessen the
impact of telling Bo and Platt that they're wrong:

"... so this is no criticism of their otherwise
brilliant thinking. It’s just that I see a lowering of the
quality of the MOQ itself if you follow this path of
subordinating it to that which it opposes." [RMP annotation 126]

Dan comments:

Really, we could learn a great deal from this here. And God (it is
meant as a literary device, not an actual statement of belief) knows I
am as guilty as the next person in condemning and criticizing.

Just something to consider,  that's all.

Thank you,

Dan
