I knew you could figure it out. Yep, "movement" must be moved from A to B. Real tricky stuff. Now what was your point in playing dumb at first and taking Pirsig's statement too literally? Just demonstrating how small-minded you can be when you try? Was there another point that has anything to do with free will versus determinism?
