Good information can be expressed with it. It can even be accurate and precise. I've seen and produced good examples of it, even long before I knew it was called "post modern". I'm writing "terse" and short here because I'm pressed for time. But given the time to just write, I can weave together a tale and use all the synonyms in my mental databank and turn 2+2=4 into a marvelous tale of systems upon systems, histories swirling, morphing and changing through time, cognitive structures alluded to and diving into quantum mechanics and poetry and music.... ... yet I can also do the same with 2+2=5. That's what's scary about post modernism. If you're not paying attention to what they're saying, it can slide right by. == At the same time, it's easy to hide bullshit in every discipline. Just go through some of the open source theoretical physics papers sometimes. There's BS there too. Math tricks used to create improbably conclusions. I've seen it with logic. Nice logical structure but with bad beginnings lead to bad endings with perfect middles. Thought experiments are the worst offenders in this regard because we barely question their validity. We forget easily that: they're fiction. == The interesting thing is: Each of them DOES have their own logic. It's _possible_ in some way to justify any paper as correct. You can turn a logical inconsistency into an allegory or a metaphor, etc. That's what makes it easy to justify anything in _some way_ and also tricky to discern truth-values sometimes. ==
