hi lewis,

yes.  i don't think i disagree with what you've written.  (do i 
understand you correctly that you've basically re-stated what i said -- 
viz., that (a) the argument "from ontology" is only good at the level of 
the philosophy of science and (b) that RB has not yet himself given us a 
lot to go on, in terms of theorizing what is involved in assessing 
competing causal accounts?)

but the worry about validity criteria seems still to be at large, no?
