As for Ian, Pirsig says it all: "That the ad hominem argument is irrelevant is usually all the logic texts say about it, but the MOQ allows one to go deeper and make what may be an original contribution. It says the ad hominem argument is a form of evil. The MOQ divides the hominem, or "individual" into four parts: inorganic, biological, and intellectual. Once this analysis is made, the ad hominem argument can be defined more clearly: It is an attempt destroy the intellectual patterns of an individual by attacking his social status. In other words, a lower form of evolution is being used to destroy a higher form." That is evil.
