Well, I simply spoke as someone that's read a reasonable amount of Fish's
writings. So, not "anybody's guess," because I'm guessing my guesstimation is
a little more like, as they say, an educated guess.
And your quote from Pirsig is perfect: "universal" comes from "complete
agreement," which is no Platonic method, and gives you no power to turn the
universalness of Quality into a weapon. Because as soon as "agreement" is
broken, so does any power in the saying that it is a "universal source"
evaporate.
