    Matt and all:

    DMB had said:
    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.

    Matt:
    Oh, fer Chrissake. Where did you get that reading of Rorty out of? The word
    "thin"? My God, your interpretational skills are astounding. I even
    explicated what Rorty meant by "thin" so people weren't mislead, as I knew
    some would be, but you don't care.

    dmb says:
    There's a "slim" chance that you're correct, but I think you're skating on
    "thin" ice here if you think Rorty doesn't know the connotation and
    implication of such a word. He is speaking English, no? ;-) Matt, is there
    any way I can persuade you to actually address my questions and objections?
    Why play games? Just talk to me like a normal person, will ya? Fer Chissake?
