Well Pirsig told the world that his MOQ-analogy was better then the old SOM-analogy. Do you object to that as well?
All that some of us probably want, is to expand the MOQ in the direction of the source. This may also help getting a better understanding of the MOQ altogether.
There's a huge sensibility when the G-word appears, as is proven with this thread.
