I'm with you, dave. I don't think you can compare terms in differing metaphysical contexts, quite so glibly. Not without a lot of hemming and hawing and opening up your baggage for inspection. The subject-object distinction itself is a kind of trap that Taoism avoids, so I don't see how you could relate Taoist terms to SOM's. I also think Pirsig's use of Quality as fundamental, is an improvement upon modern interpretations of Taoism that assert "interaction between" yin and yang. Interaction between. That's a piss-poor term for caring, wouldn't you say?
