I need to write up something on the subject. One day.

Please do it soon. It isn't the first time I read here about actual usefulness of postmodernism (unfortunately don't remember who has argued for that before), but the claim was never demonstrated or discussed in a greater detail.

It was probably me ;-) I've pointed friends at the above comment to rip it to shreds and belabour me about the head with wherever I'm being not even wrong, which I probably am in a few places - I come to this stuff as an autodidact on it because I found it useful, not as someone who trained up in it properly.
