Warms replies:

" If he [McCreery] is looking for results in terms of general
formula or law (the kind that sometimes appear on this list) I'm sorry I have
no suggestions for him. Those are not the sorts of questions that pomo
techniques are designed to answer."


I take it that this means something like: "pomo techniques are not designed
to engage in scientific discourse, hence don't expect scientific discourse
from folks using pomo techniques."

If I haven't misread Warms, then I would have to agree that that seems
reasonable enough.
