I regret I am going away this weekend and will not be able to do Justin's
remarks justice. But as he knows from his new career, one is only meant to
be charged with particular specific crimes and if he re-reads my sentence
it cannot be interpreted as a general charge that he is empriricist. 

While obviously we all form global impressions of each other, I will leave
Justin to decide whether he is empiricist, and stick to my specific
criticism of his approach to the Marxist theory of value.
