Feyerabend was capable of rational criticism, unlike the people who fell for 
the Sokal hoax.

Sokal and Bricmont provided a measured response to critics which clearly 
defined the nature and intent of the hoax . Their criticism  was directed 
against carefully selected targets, not including Derrida for example who 
for all his incoherence did not indulge in the particular form of 
pseudoscientific  fraud that Sokal unmasked.
