"The question of "How do you justify the statement that Quality
equals reality?" was the best one. The correct answer from a
MOQ perspective is, "by the harmony it produces", but this
answer is only for people who already understand the MOQ.
Those who don't can't see the harmony and for them this
answer is meaningless."
(Pirsig,2000)
Maybe it's a designation and an explanation. Two truths...
