    According to some - it would be "troubling".

    Mmm - a falsifiable argument for either statement would sure make 
things plain.. I'd like to see one myself!

    Only if the argument is 'the *content* of this discourse is of no 
greater value than that of other discourses',
    If the statement is 'all discourses are equal'; then a value 
judgment is being made for all discourses - but not about any one in 
particular.
    I'm not sure which Jason meant.
