Four isn't sacred, but four is what has been shown to have explanatory power.
Pirsig has indicated how each level has evolved from the previous & has given
examples.  ("Code of Art" hasn't caught on because it fails both these criteria.)
To argue for a number other than four, one must show the connection to the other levels
& give convincing examples.
