[Dan] I've taken the liberty of deleting the rest of your post. It is bullshit, to put it politely.
[Arlo] When you can tell me something "the MOQ" said that neither Pirsig, you, me, Ant, DMB or anyone else has said, then you can make this claim. [Dan] So you are saying RMP cannot explain, explicate, or elucidate the MOQ on account of it being his own explanation, explication, and elucidation. [Arlo] If your definition of "interpret" is simply "explain", then I suggest you use the word "explain", as literate adults understand a distinction between "explaining" something and "interpreting" it... otherwise there would not be two words, would there? And perhaps you should consider the entire part one from dictionary.com to give or provide the meaning of; explain; explicate; elucidate: to interpret the hidden meaning of a parable. I suppose if you need to interpret the "hidden meaning" of your own ideas, you spend some time thinking about them more before stating them. "Interpret" implies a certain impenetrability in format that has to be altered or restated before "meaning" can be understood. When we "interpret" art, we mean that we move to uncover some hidden meaning, something not apparent at the surface or at first glance. When we "interpret" a foreign language, we do so because the script hides the meaning from us and need it "interpreted" into one we understand.
