I don't think that anyone would say the original question didn't engender 
some interesting points and discussions on a number of questions..that is 
how texts work. As for you Derridian inspired accusation that simon is after 
transparency of language leaves me dumb struck. Your comment seems that 
because Simon, or anyone else, who is rigoursous in his writing they are 
pursuing a Habermasian dream. Your comment seems to be quite a novel 
interpretation of Derrida and overlooks certain similarities between B. 
conception of fuzzy logic and academic self-reflexivity and deconstruction.
