LANGUAGE TELLS US LITTLE UNLESS REDUCED TO ACTION

People have written software that generates postmodern obscurantist academic papers, submitted those papers, and had them published. Hundreds of them.

Now, you COULD write a program that generated arguments in e-prime, using operational language, and a demonstration of construction.

The difference is, that it would be just as impossible to construct an undetectable empty or false argument under operationalism as it is trivial to write one under postmodernism.

Language tells us little until reduced to action.
