You could absolutely quote mine physics and math papers to make a point that&#x27;s not true, if that&#x27;s what you&#x27;re asking. I think it might be harder to get such a project into a physics journal, but yes, I think it&#x27;s doable.<p>That being said, I don&#x27;t think just anything can make it into a philosophy journal either. He was clearly trying very hard to make a point, and when smart people work hard on things, the result is very rarely worthless. I&#x27;m sure that came through in reading his writing, which is why it was published. Continental philosophy is largely subjective, (which isn&#x27;t to say it doesn&#x27;t very in quality) and as such it can&#x27;t be gauged like analytical philosophy or physics can be.<p>The greater intellectual fraud is extrapolating this example of a minor journal focused on postmodernism publishing an article written in bad faith to a rejection of postmodernism wholesale. There&#x27;s a lot of valuable insight to be gained from studying it, which I encourage anyone skeptical of postmodernism to do.
