In his 2005 summary of the MOQ, Pirsig said:

"The Metaphysics of Quality itself is static and should be separated from the Dynamic Quality it talks about. Like the rest of the printed philosophic tradition it doesn't change from day to day, although the world it talks about does."



Marsha replied:
A major premise of the MoQ is Quality(Dynamic Quality/static quality), how can you really separate it in any meaningful way? Do you?  ... Walk the talk, or shut the mouth.

Well, that's Pirsig explaining how you should separate the MOQ's static talk from the DQ it talks about. Are you saying that Pirsig's explanation of this distinction is meaningless? Seems to me that you're asking the question in response to the answer, which is weirdly backwards. You could object to the answer or criticize the answer. But to simply ask how they can be separate in response to a statement about how they can be separate is like a bad joke, a parody of obliviousness.
