I know that you have committed yourself and has no way open ....to
the Quality-intellect that you always have promoted. The mystery to
me is your logic for this about turn, but that goes for Pirsig too. ;-)

THIS is the problem, you automatically conclude that "understanding"
is Q-intellect. By what faculty did the ancient people understand? We
agreed that the social age built great cultures, constructed cities
...etc. and we also agree that the said "social repetitious ..." is
nonsense, or have you backed out there too?

"Unusual features", I dare say. Your definition of intellect as "thinking
about thinking" is correct from intellect's p.o.v, but seen from the "Q-
level" a radically different picture emerges.
I wain, but I can't help.
