Your analogy kind of makes sense when I think about ZAMM but not when I think about LILA.
So was Pirsig being a philosopher writing ZAMM and a philosophologer when writing LILA?
You may argue ZAMM may be more creative than LILA but that distinction still isn't clear cut---he was still being creative when writing LILA, some may argue even more creative despite "labeling" or "giving the notes"

Ant McWatt notes:
Great analogy Khaled. Yes, definitely a good way at looking at the
philosopher/philosophologist distinction,
Best wishes,
Anthony.
