In fact, all of them are.
My understanding was that Miles is maintaining that rationality/logic manifested itself differently in different cultures.
I agree that the end products of logic/rationality are determined in part by the cultural premises put into the machinery of logic/rationality. Where I disagree is in believing that the machinery itself is culturally determined (if this indeed is what Miles is maintaining and not my miseading of his posts).
