Unless the relationalists are going to realize this and manage to contain their usual arrogance and become more realistic and careful about the claims of the RM they will loose this debate very fast.

It might have helped seriousness if this was illustrated with at least one concrete example of a "claim of the RM" that has been made too carelessly and too unrealistically, in the past, by one of them "arrogant" fierce relationalists.

At any rate, relationalists really have gotten used to "losing the debate". And have learned not to mind. And the RM is still alive and kicking and there are still new kids coming round the block doing an ever better job of implementing the RM properly. Received on Mon Jan 21 2013 - 16:56:18 CET
