I wonder how you avoid being misinterpreted as a radical relativist or "post-modernist," associated with the line that "there is no truth, only consensus, which is politically determined." I know this is not your position, but someone seeking to discredit you could twist this post around to say that. I know Bruno Latour has faced the same dilemma, coming from an epistemological stance close to, though not identical to, yours. Thoughts? And thanks for writing this blog, which I find informative and enjoyable.
