If you intend to substitute words I use with the ones you would rather refute, that’s fine with me. But it would be more honest if you don’t quote them in my name.
The distinction I mentioned is that between a methodology (here as “works”) and any value judgements. Why I make this distinction is that people can use various methodologies without needing any underlying belief. Sure, there is some recursion here when I qualify it as working better, because better certainly conveys a value judgement, that one method might be generally more applicable than another.
This sounds like a model of one-way communication then, since ideally I might suppose that we are each both speaking and listening, and take the small effort to mutually clarify our terminologies from the outset. One party denying the others participation in the semantic process sounds to me like solipsism.
In any case, it seems reasonable to me that one cannot do somebody else’s science for them.
