OK, I think we may be getting somewhere.

My question in the OP started because Wednesday/Marissa used the theory of postmodernism (that she claimed I was using) to basically handwave my points away in this thread. And while I don't mind being wrong about the points she's making, I'm not understanding the points she's making in return. Could you go into that thread Truth, Fact, and the conflation thereof and weigh in on the OP please? And if you agree with her, could you lay out a little more about why and perhaps add some references? Thanks.
