All this quoting of Pirsig's rhetoric as part of arguments (other than
arguments about what he said, clearly) is a really scary trend - he's not some
authoritative guru on whose every word we hang.

Quoting Pirsig to defend Pirsig's ideas is not to argue from authority. There
is no better evidence for Pirsig's view. To suggest otherwise is just foolish.
Nothing else could possibly count better as evidence.
Where did you ever get such a weird idea? The construe the MOQ in a way that
does not comport with Pirsig's words is thee most obvious way to be wrong about
the MOQ. And that's exactly what Bo and Marsha do. They claim this is some kind
of freedom but it's just intellectual decadence. It's immoral and, to be
perfectly frank, it's also kinda stupid.
