while it may be true that doug's personality is inclined toward non
participation, a preference for not actually getting involved much,
he's not asking that people carefully consult theory _before_ getting
involved in this or that political activity.

rather, he is asking that, as people *are* involved *in* political
activity that they be more engaged in consulting what he calls
"theories" (but which may be better understood as accounts) in order
to decide what to do.

Doug, is this really your view? That you consult the oracles before doing something so that you can decide what to do? Say it ain't so.
