[edit] Citations

Are there any citations of this term's use outside of the context of Pirsig's work? —Malber (talk • contribs) 15:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This article really should be merged into either the book article or the author article or both. The following are reasons:

1. The term really doesn't exist outside of Pirsig's work.
2. It's a very short article.
3. It's unlikely that the article will be expanded.

[edit] keep

The reasoning is valid but I would counter

1. I came to this article via an external link
2. the term was very appropriate and I see it gaining traction on the web
3. the term is universal anad useful on it's own outside of the book
4. the user above who made the suggestion has been banned from wikipedia (?)

So I removed the merge suggestion in the article, which detracts from the article itself

[edit] Wikibook

I put up a wikibook that could hold more content on gumption traps, if contributors here are in the mood to write something less encyclopedic and more instructional.
