[David Buchanan] Well in terms of the ultimate mystical reality
I suppose that is true enough, but if we fail to recognize the important
distinctions between static and Dynamic then we cheat ourselves out of
any meaningful comprehension of the MOQ. This month's debate on the
Lilasquad side is concerned with how we can obtain Sq and DQ
simultaneously, for example. Pirsig says such a balance is the whole
point in life. So, yes it is all Quality, but there are important
distinctions to be made between the two kinds, static and Dynamic. It's
the eternal dance between them that concerns us.
