...if Matt is talking then Rorty is the topic...

Matt:
That's just plain wrong and I can provide many examples.  (But the point of 
course wasn't factual efficacy, but something more like slander.)  I think 
it is only the inability to distinguish between when a person is excavating 
their own thoughts from when they are excavating Pirsig's thoughts (the 
difference between philosophy and biography) that causes misguided "priests" 
or "purists" or "defenders" to balk whenever something other than Pirsig is 
brought up.  I think a little sensitivity and agility in reading is all that 
is needed here, but there's not a lot the writer can do to facilitate such 
sensitivity.  Afterall, I can tell the difference between when you are 
talking about what Campbell or Wilber thinks and when you are talking about 
what Pirsig thinks, even when you go back and forth in the same post.  It 
boggles my mind that you can't make that distinction in other people.

Matt
