Hi Steve Thanks for the clarification. I kind of thought that's what you meant when I first read your post. Krimel seemed to take it the wrong way. >Steve: > I agree that saying that the intellectual level is the collection of > all intellectual patterns of values should go without saying.

Bodvar has built an entire edifice on a misunderstanding. And it's not like we're discussing the work of some long-dead author... we have Robert Pirsig's take on Bo's idea and he quite simply doesn't agree. But rather than admitting he's wrong, Bodvar insists the man who invented the MOQ is wrong! Unbelievable.
