uh...what i'm saying, sf, is that i understand the points you're making and in some cases agree with them, but at the same time i don't see you doing your own position any favors by the way you're laying out your case. there's an entirely elaborated framework that'd let you do what i think you're doing without getting in as much trouble as you're getting into in this thread. the only reasons i bothered to write anything about it are
(1) i'm kinda sympathetic to the marxian critique of capitalist science, which is a main reason that i find it so annoying to read the way you're mangling it and
(2) i was trying to help you out of the box you're own mode of argument has gotten you into.
but do as you like, argue as you like. it's a parlor game.
