Robert M. Pirsig Quotes

Actually I've Never Seen A Cycle-maintenance Problem Complex Enough Really To Require Full-scale Formal Scientific Method. Repair Problems Are Not That Hard. When I Think Of Formal Scientific Method An Image Sometimes Comes To Mind Of An Enormous Juggernaut, A Huge Bulldozer-slow, Tedious, Lumbering, Laborious, But Invincible. It Takes Twice As Long, Five Times As Long, Maybe A Dozen Times As Long As Informal Mechanic's Techniques, But You Know In The End You're Going To Get It. There's No Fault Isolation Problem In Motorcycle Maintenance That Can Stand Up To It. When You've Hit A Really Tough One, Tried Everything, Racked Your Brain And Nothing Works, And You Know That This Time Nature Has Really Decided To Be Difficult, You Say, "Okay, Nature, That's The End Of The Nice Guy," And You Crank Up The Formal Scientific Method.
