No.
W-S and po-mo are agreed on the Fundamental Proposition(tm) that
Everything is Related to Everything.
To suggest otherwise would obviously be otherwise. And vice versa.
My suggestion to you would be that if you want to critique a particular
assertion you do it on the basis of fact; if you wish to criticise any
school, ridicule is probably the best weapon. Using one school to
attack another school would be like attacking a creampuff with donuts,
woonit now?
