Hi Lawry,
The Cleveland Harbour effect is based on a story Pirsig tells in ch 26 of
Lila.
His conclusion was "It was a parable for students of scientific objectivity.
Wherever the chart disagreed with his observations he rejected the
observation and followed the chart ... Seeing is not believing. Believing is
seeing."
My argument is that it goes much deeper, and is the fatal objection to the
value of a metaphysics. This is the core of my disagreement with Bo.
Regards,
John B
