As you say, no substitute for us MoQ'ers and others just to read it.
As to how Pirsig came across it. I know people who have Lavery and Pirsig as
mutual friends, so I suspect Lavery has consulted Pirsig over his project,
even if only indirectly. Lavery and other Pirsig acquaintances (matbe even
Pirsig) have a common interest in Barfield. Either way Pirsig did not come
across this on a random search of the web, that's for sure.
