Rorty doesn't talk a tremendous amount about the concept of "beauty", to my
knowledge, except to say that it is thin, like the terms "true" and "good".
By thin, Rorty moreorless means undefineable, which pretty much matches with
Pirsig.

I doubt it very much. I strongly suspect that "thin" is very much like SOM's
characterization. He's saying such things are "just subjective". I think
this is just one of a hundred examples that show Rorty to be the problem
Pirsig is trying to overcome.
