The hero of ZAMM is a rhetorician and Pirsig says the usual conception of rhetoric is based on Plato's and Aristotle's unjust slander. Basically the distinction you're making between rhetoric and dialectic is the opposite of what it means in the MOQ.

Your second point is also completely incorrect. Any kind of metaphysical position will entail logic. "A metaphysics must be divisible, definable, and knowable, or there isn't any metaphysics."

Also the name of your theory, the Analytic MOQ, is an oxymoron because Analytic Philosophy is the style that most perfectly epitomizes SOM.

With all due respect, Tuukka, it's increasingly difficult to take your comments and criticisms seriously. Is there anything you could say that would convince anyone that you're onto something or that you have a valid point about the MOQ?

Thanks,
