Carrol seems to be taking the approach -- which has honorable antecedents -- of ruling certain kinds of discourse out of order as meaningless a priori. But this is a very slippery slope, since once you start looking into the bona fides of discourse, it all turns out to stand on sinking sand. This is not a critique of discourse, of course; discourse is indispensable. It's a critique of the critique of discourse.
