Pirsig answers:
"The reason there is a difference between individual evaluations of
quality is that although Dynamic Quality is a constant, these static
patterns are different for everyone because each person has a different
static pattern of life history. Both the Dynamic Quality and the static
patterns influence his final judgment. That is why there is some
uniformity among individual value judgments but not complete uniformity."
