Marsha:
No, Andre, you are misinterpreting what I said, which was "sq is not other than 
DQ."  The fundamental nature of sq is DQ.   

And you are forgetting that "your interpretation" is "your interpretation."  
Mr. Pirsig may talk about Mr. Pirsig's MoQ because he developed it, while your 
talk is of "your interpretation" of Mr. Pirsig's MoQ.
