I don't necessarily sympathize with postmodern studies as much as you, but threads like this really don't contribute much to HN and should be more tiresome for people across the board. We should recognize it for the flame-war that it really is, just one that doesn't have a proper representative on one side, i.e. a "community bubble" symptom. If there's no technical discussion of the algorithm or an interesting bipartisan viewpoint to be had here, then all that's left is bashing that's been done before in past stories.
