    deja vu
    It has been argued before that we can't know
    whether Quality is absolute or not.
    There is a specific quote, can't remember where,
    about writing with a pencil not pen.
    I think you were challenged before to show where
    Pirsig says we know quality is always absolute and
    weren't able to as far as I recall.....

    Just wanted to point out that Matt wasn't alone in
    this argument and you haven't made your argument.
    With Pirsig emphasizing pragmatism I 'absolutely' don't
    understand why you 'always' do this.
