Pirsig is the last person to allow that to happen. The LEAST likely to take up the mantle of authoritative pronouncements from the mountaintop. His work makes this point over and over, and Mary's got it right.

Not at all, John. The passage you refer to is about authority to define Quality. You are confusing this with Pirsig's metaphysics of Quality. I think Pirsig is quite an authority on what his ideas are.

I've never claimed anyone, "least of all Pirsig" (whatever that means in this context) has authority to define what Quality is. But, when we are talking about HIS metaphysics, I think he is the ultimate authority. As YOU would be the ultimate authority in talking about YOUR metaphysics.
