Why? Just because he said so? Even though Lacan, for all his charms, was at least a bit of a faker? Even though many other orthodox Freudians, including those who expelled him from the realm of the orthodox, would disagree? Even though the whole aspiration towards being an orthodox Freudian - like that towards being an orthodox Marxist - is more than a little bizarre?
