I was referring to the somewhat hostile environment within broader CS that PL theorists have inhabited for many years, in which they have year after year been confronted with spurious accusations of not doing &quot;honest&quot; CS. Is it possible that you are projecting here? I think there is a 99% chance of it. </p><p>My goal with my statement was to *defend* PL theorists (doing work I mostly don&#39;t like!) from the charge of not doing &quot;honest&quot; CS and the charge of bloviating too much. I recognise there was some ambiguity in the way I phrased it, but I&#39;d like you to take a moment to think about just why you latched onto the interpretation that makes me as vicious as possible .</p>

I meant “honest” not in the sense of virtue or earnesty, but in the sense of not having to convince everyone else that what one is doing is legitimate CS. PL has always been, wrongly, at the margins of mainstream CS, i.e. viewed wrongly as not “honest CS”, and therefore PL theorists have adopted a number of coping mechanisms that are driving Martin crazy but are understandable under the circumstances. </p><p>Hope this clarifies?</p>

I don&#39;t feel that people working in areas broadly considered to be &quot;honest&quot; computer science feel the need to justify themselves as much as PL people do; we are contending in a more bizarre environment where we can&#39;t be sure that everyone even agrees that alpha-equivalence is something that can be taken for granted...</p>
