Dan: I tend to disagree with this statement. Both activities are high quality endeavors in their own right. This is one of the main points in ZMM... that any activity can become a work of art if enough care is given.

If we take care in attending to the moment, we become artists at whatever we do. If we are sloppy in our thinking, it tends to boil over into all other aspects of our life. The wife/husband decides s/he's had enough... the boss might need to have a talk with us... that oil leak we keep trying to fix on our motorcycle keeps on dripping... the posts we contribute here are full of errors, lacking in intellectual integrity, and often contradictory. This is why it is good to remember that in the MOQ ideas come before matter. Take care of your ideas and the rest will follow.
