The OP was specifically asking about "dialectics" and Sciabarra's use of it.

He was also asking about why we don't use it on LW and whether maybe we should use it if it's a potent thinking tool.

Well yeah, but I find that quite a big IF, don't you?

But if not, I don't think talking about dialectics has any use either. It will just seem like magic.
