I have no truck with _Social Text_ which has forsaken politics for cultural
theory. But the smug and self-righteous tone of  the comments following the
escapade don't make my spine tingle either. That the cultural studies types
on _Social Text_ know little or nothing about hard science is no revelation;
the same can be said of how most hard scientists view philosophy and
discourse theory. The mutual unintelligibility, and the refusal to engage
each other, is no cause for celebration.
