Robert Pirsig taught me
THE TESTS OF TRUTH
1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.
“3. Economy of explanation” in this case would seem to be that the law enforcement people would have immediately come out and said that he came at them with guns blazing and that’s why they had to shoot him.
They have been switching stories and coming up with lengthy explanations.
They do not pass The Tests Of Truth.
He was one of my teachers also.
